Sterner Painting

This painting is an appropriation of Marlene Dumas' 'Stern', which in turn was an appropriation of a photograph by Gerhard Richter. Through these versions, ambiguity is added to the subject matter, and the interpretation of the woman's condition is up to the viewer. Dumas wrote that the painting was less about the subject matter than about the relationship with material, the translation of a photograph into a painting. I painted this on top of one of my own paintings, which then forces a relationship between the two pieces, and continues the exploration of the woman depicted.
