Brett

Brett, 2021, oil on polyester over panel, 48 x 64 inches

This painting is one in a series of portraits where ideal beauty is questioned.Every mole, wrinkle and blemish is depicted. Is it realism or exaggerated, I get accused of both. Certainly, the large size creates an illusion of importance and possible judgement.We hide so much of ourselves when we walk out the door to meet a friend or go to school. If you are going to hide your perceived imperfections, are you hiding yourself as well?This is Brett. In all his glory large and proud
