On March 3, 2013, Bayer opened his first major solo exhibition at ACE Gallery Beverly Hills entitled, “Diptychs & Triptychs”. Bayer presented a series of sixteen twelve-foot-tall, female nude triptychs as well as four ten-foot-tall diptych portraits. In an Interview magazine article, Bayer commented that “the initial effect of the portraits are overwhelming, and a bit spooky.” Bayer’s understanding of Hollywood’s constant superficial dissection and scrutinization of women, lead him to strip his subjects of all artifice in order to provide an alternative view of womanhood in contemporary culture. Exposed full frontally, these women might have been perceived as vulnerable on a smaller scale; however, the straight gaze and the enlarged scale creates an intimation of a “new race of superwomen.”
