Remastered Portraits

“My latest body of work fuses a lifelong love of portraiture with my interest in pattern and the ways it can transform and enliven the picture plane. Executing these patterns in oil paint atop prints of historical portraits radically alters the images and changes our perception of them, even as they retain a certain familiarity. It transmutes their formality and tradition into something wholly contemporary, ushering these ‘re-mastered’ portraits into a modern idiom.”
