Opening of Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty

The opening of Gretchen Andrew’s Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty features 15 oil paintings that layer AI-driven beauty filters over full-body portraits of Miss Universe contestants from around the world. In these works, Gretchen Andrew exposes the contradiction between natural beauty and what AI regards as beauty.

Stop by Heft Gallery located at 300 Broome in NYC’s Lower East Side between May 14 - Jun 7 to view works from this show!
