Bailey Gardner

Bailey Gardner is a contemporary American artist. She enjoys using the grid method and the Golden Ratio to idealize figures. She explores the concept of Utopia, a made-up paradise of leisure and pleasure, filled with naked figures at rest, using vivid, unnatural colors. Gardner has also developed a fondness for creating dystopias that feature horrifying scenes of devastation and a loss of individuality. The artist compares these opposing worlds, contrasting the zones we aspire to with the ones we do not wish to know, by presenting these two bodies of work side by side. Bailey Gardner was born in 1997, in the USA. She received her BFA at University of Kansas and her MFA at New York Studio School. Gardner recently did a post-graduate program at The Slade School of Fine Art in London.
