Uvdeshmukh Uncategorized November 4, 2024 Photos of bare legs and cleavage fill out the skin tone of the Dutch Masters’ subjects. Take a glance through Mapes’ work, and you’ll understand what he means. Technically, Mapes is a portraitist, though he rarely uses paint. Instead, the artist recreates the human visage by arranging fragments of a person’s life—photographs, locks of hair, handwriting samples, jewelry—into highly detailed works of art. Mapes has been making these pieces for years, generally working with subjects intimately close to him. But in his newest project, he’s decided to deconstruct (then reconstruct) some of the Dutch Masters’ most famous 17th century portraits, rendering classics like Bartholomeus van der Helst’s painting of Geertruida den Dubbelde into startling franken-portraits.https://artsorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/pexels-photo-4262424-e1630149828611-1.jpeg
