Actually, we had to do a double take. At first glance it is hard not to mistake these works as photographs. Mimicking the aesthetic of snapshot photos to perfection, Gavines\u2019s hyperrealistic paintings of candid moments reveal desires that are tucked away in our psyche.<\/p>\n<p>What we found most compelling is the way that Gravinese captures the delicate transition of girlhood to womanhood, and the sexuality that develops with physical change.
