Altered Portraits
I like things better when they’re distorted, mauled, put in vivid contrast. A portrait is often a beginning that’s fun to mess with, meaning there’s always enough portrait left to still have its own voice. I want both.
Here are four examples taken from the Rijksmuseum free collection and, well, messed with.
