About the artist

Shaina McCoy Working with richly hued oil paints, McCoy creates selectively colored canvases that depict imagery drawn from photographs of family members and intimate moments. Finding a formal balance between artists such as Kara Walker and David Hockney, McCoy builds faceless figures from thick, tactile layers of glossy paint; resulting in vivid and vibrant anonymous portraits, loaded with sentiment and mystery. McCoy’s work captures the ambiguous and familiar essence of memory, radiating with both history and wonder.
