Presentation Abstract
When emotion controls how style and medium are applied to self-portraiture, a greater connection is formed between the external appearance of the portrait and the inner self. This body of work explores the complicated emotions that are evoked by seven of the artist's favorite songs via the creation self-portraits. The medium chosen for each piece reflects the raw emotions triggered by each song. Inspiration regarding style and technique will be drawn from multiple artists, such as Jenny Saville, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Noel Badges Pugh, Kendall Kyra, and Agnes Cecile. By exploring self through emotionally charged portraiture, a space is created in which the essential elements of one's being can manifest. Ultimately what arises from this body of work is an overwhelming underlying connection between the pieces that captures the complexities of self in a tangible form.
