✨ Beauty, Power & Painting with Robots Gretchen Andrew’s Facetune Portraits Acquired by The Whitney ✨

You’re invited to a virtual studio tour with Gretchen Andrew

A firm TheArtGorgeous favourite, Gretchen Andrew continues to dazzle with her glitter-dusted hacks on power, visibility, and the art market.

Her latest series, Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty, recently acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art, transforms the cult of digital perfection into oil paintings created with custom robotics that physically embed AI beauty filters onto canvas. The result is both alluring and unsettling, revealing the tension between how we truly look and how algorithms insist we should.

Gretchen is inviting TheArtGorgeous readers inside her studio for an exclusive virtual tour, which you can book here. Join her to hear first-hand how she evolved from hacker to painter, delve into the seductive pull of AI beauty, and discover what’s next on her glitter-strewn horizon. This intimate visit also offers a direct encounter with her materials, process, and conceptual framework, while sparking ideas for how her work might ignite new conversations within the collections, exhibitions, or programmes you lead—and how your institution, gallery, or project might collaborate with her practice and themes.
