SERIE: LES PORTRAITS AUX CHEVEUX BLEUS
The works from ‘Serie: Les Portraits Aux Cheveux Bleus’ are an amalgamation of real and imaginary figuration rooted in a holistic mindset & a curiosity for eastern cultures likely stemming from a childhood gift of a geisha doll from my Uncle who had been stationed in Okinawa.
Inspired by a 'women with blue hair’ photo shoot this body of work has evolved into a statement about finding a zen meditative space, meant to empower women, highlighting the beauty in imperfections.
In what could be seen as shapeshifting using the concept of the face as a mask exploring the self as a mirror of reflection or polarization of figures in and out of space, in and out of past or present, body or mind emphasize how they resonate invoking an ethereal quality. Leaving space for the viewer’s interpretation of what the paintings bring out, which is unique to each individual.
As the body of work progresses you can see an emphasis on textures and a playfulness enjoying working with FOUND ART by upcycling signage at times developing the notion of typography as design elements and integrating portions into a painting with new meaning & or symbolism.
Imperfections unfold as textures & multi-layering abstract painting techniques figure prominently in the transformation of the later paintings where found art is not just a metaphor but an actual shapeshift bringing underlying and new meaning to the forefront.
