GEOMETRIC PORTRAITS

Triangles, squares, and round forms form a kaleidoscope. The faces of cinema's greatest stars take shape in this collection of Geometric Portraits. Making a portrait with geometric shapes and a powerful cubist influence requires understanding a face's essence. It's a practice in composing and recomposing familiar elements. In this situation, the looks we have admired in films, billboards, and magazine covers are fractured while retaining their identity. The Geometric Portraits series focuses on the hidden architecture of the human face. The expressive power of a brow arch, a brightening smile, or a darkening of the face. In this alternate representation language, there is no irregularity as in cubist paintings. On the other hand, the stylistic regularity of these portraits manages to portray an almost glacial calm. They are magical and mysterious, like Marlene Dietrich's stare or refracting ice particles, like Bette Davis' light blue eyes.
