A classical portrait of a figure wearing an ornate yellow hat is layered with bold, colorful paint strokes in magenta, peach, and blue that obscure and reframe the subject. The juxtaposition of the delicate historical image with contemporary graphic interventions creates a playful tension between tradition and modern artistic expression. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
