Gina Teichert

Artist Statement

Gina Teichert is a studio artist living in San Francisco, California. Her practice is focused on the exploration of the human condition, especially the influences of sex, consumerism and media. Following residence in Miami and Milan, she left a career in the fashion industry to engage the purely creative potential of contemporary art. Her current projects draw influence from her time working in advertising and incorporate observations on the pressures society places upon women. Teichert has shown alongside other emerging West Coast artists at San Francisco’s de Young Museum and Los Angeles Art Association Gallery 825. In July 2013, she will debut an installation on San Francisco’s waterfront coinciding with the 34th America’s Cup entitled The Emperor Project.
