Parker DayParker Day is a Los Angeles based artist whose work explores identity and the masks we wear. Through costuming and exaggerated expressions, Day toys with the truth of who and what she portrays. She deliberately eschews Photoshop in favor of in-cameracapture on film. Lurid color bathes her work and heightens the surreality of her subjects while the grain and grit of the photographs make them palpably real. Parker Day's breakout series of 100 semi-fictionalized portraits entitled ICONS was shown in solo shows in Los Angeles, Portland, and New York in 2017. Selections from the body of work have been shown in group shows internationally. The ICONS book was released to coincide with her debut solo show in February 2017. She has received press from publications such as The New Yorker, Juxtapoz, Vice, i-D, and Dazed, among many others. Read More Read Less
