SLIKE S ODMORA / VACATION PICTURES

series of paintings (oil and acrylic on canvas), 32 x 32 cm

This series of polaroid-like oil paintings executed in a pop-realism style, capturing carefully curated symbols of summer—flip-flops, beach bags, floating flamingos—referencing Instagram’s culture of envy-inducing leisure.
