Portrait of Philadelphia and Elizabeth Wharton (Japanese Dolls): Van Dyck 1640 ReDrawn Collage

Transcriptive mixed media painting of Sir Anthony Van Dyck's 1640 portrait of Philadelphia and Elizabeth Wharton. This is a reappropriation of a baroque family portrait, of children who once existed neary 400 years ago. The work questions time and social status, reviving art historical figures to contemporary times through paint and contemporary urban collage, exploring meaning through our ancestry and the barrage of images we are bombarded with daily. The work has particularly been inspired by Japanese street style. Framing information: All my works are sealed with matt varnish and set in a bespoke premium frame.
