Stand In Front And Pretend You’re Into Art captures CB Hoyo’s irreverent approach to contemporary art, using humour, text and self-awareness to question the way we look at, talk about and assign value to art.

The deliberately provocative title turns the viewer into part of the work itself. By instructing us to “stand in front and pretend you’re into art”, Hoyo playfully exposes the performance that can surround gallery culture — from the pressure to understand what we are looking at to the language and behaviours associated with the art world.

Humour and contradiction are central to Hoyo’s practice. His works frequently challenge ideas of authenticity, authorship and artistic value, using seemingly simple statements to encourage a more direct and less reverential relationship with art.

Created in 2022, Stand In Front And Pretend You’re Into Art was produced as a giclée print on 300gsm fine art paper and released as a limited edition of 212.

Presented framed.
