While well-documented in photography, the eerie picturesque of slick corporate environments has been addressed much less in painting. Cue Rives Granade, a multifaceted San Francisco artist, whose lavish oil paintings feature that very classical figure — the nude — in very contemporary office settings. The uncanny feeling evoked by this contrast is furthered by the otherwise empty rooms Granade depicts. Lifted from various source materials (in which they were fully clad), the figures engage in activities rendered tantalizingly perplexing when placed against their glossy, hyper-modern backgrounds.
