Description
An 18th-century portrait of a young woman with pale skin and softly styled hair, rendered in muted grays and blues, is overlaid with large white handwritten lettering reading "C'EST LA FUCKING VIE" that spans the composition. The juxtaposition of classical refinement and contemporary profanity creates an irreverent, darkly humorous artwork that subverts the dignity of historical portraiture. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
