Here
is another of my many cubist portrait series that I have been experimenting
with, once again collaging cut out features from magazines as starting points. Using acrylic paint and ink I used the same color schemes and line treatments.
I am, if it's not already obvious, a huge fan of Picasso. And one of his gifts, among many, was his hard hitting role in the creation of Cubism as well as the use of collage, both for which I am heavily indebted.
This is the one of many cubist series of portraits that I have created beginning with the eyes, noses, and mouths that I cut from magazine photos. Each series is a slight variation of another. But they all begin from the same point of view and end in collage.
Sometimes I believe I should still be living in the 20th century, when I felt that I had more of a handle on the speed of progress and technology. But I'm slowly catching up. Obviously you are reading this on a blog so that must count for something.
I tend to like challenges and being able to adapt to changes which in this day and age is something that can hardly be avoided. I also tend to be in awe of nature and about the world in which we live; not just whatis visible but also that which is not. Maybe this is why I tend find meaning and fulfillment in creating art.
