Dirty Faces

A series of oil paintings depicting a figure painted in contemporary superhero colours. The superheroes symbolise the archetype of 'the hero', soul, spirit and personal reflection. The flesh or skin represents people or a person. The process for this series involves painting a model in face paint; the paint is placed on the model in a crude manner to resemble the superhero. A photo shoot is staged and an image is chosen and painted in oil on linen.
