CB Hoyo | I Do Squats To Get A Big And Beautiful Ass

CB Hoyo (b. 1995) — I Do Squats To Get A Big And Beautiful Ass

CB Hoyo treats handwritten text as his primary material, in the way another painter might treat oil or bronze — short, deadpan one-liners that borrow, in his words, “the rhythm of internal monologues, notes app confessions, and online culture.” This piece belongs to that wider series, the humour acting as the point of entry to a more pointed observation about curated honesty and self-improvement on social media.

Rendered in green marker across a blank pink ground and set within a green frame, the simplicity of the presentation is deliberately at odds with the candour of the statement. As an original, unique work, it carries none of the repetition of Hoyo’s editions — this is the singular gesture itself.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
