San Diego painter Jean Lowe had addressed the visual language of consumerism previously, particularly with her lumpy papier-mâché books, painted with slick, smooth enamel, bearing satirical titles like Militant Feminist Veganism for All and Torture Preparedness. But with her 2009 exhibit Love for Sale she made a dramatic leap in scale, medium, and conceptual complexity. Overstock! is typical of that group of very large panel paintings, which were the artist’s first traditionally formatted artworks. Each of them conflates extravagant baroque and rococo interiors with the equally overwhelming vernacular visual display of contemporary big-box retail outlets like Costco.
