GLOSSY 6

Is the face real, or just an image?

A female face from the world of fashion photography and advertising can be seen in this painting from the GLOSSY series. In “Close Up” the image of a woman’s face seems to be partially torn, revealing a flaming background. We are unsettled. Has the face cracked, revealing what’s beneath? Or is the blazing background visible through the face, as with a torn poster? Is the face real, or just an image?
