Art Description

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

A Large scale multiple head study using a muted palette and a loose application of paint ranging from thin glazes to thicker impasto. It continues my interest in the presentation and concepts of beauty. As we are subjected to countless images of over photo-shopped perfection of the portrait. So this work is hopefully a counter balance to this through the use of uneven surface textures and blotches of paint. Creating a sort of in-perfect or flawed beauty.
