Serialist Portrait
This large hand made Serialist Painting is part of my, on going, Artists Masterpiece Series. It was also just showcased by the Amsterdam: Van Gogh Museum.
This is my fourth rendering of Van Gogh,' Self Portraits and my best. The other three are all in private collections. This is the only one still available.
Van Gogh' legacy and contribution to the arts both in his artworks and letters is immense! He has always been one of my favourite artists and his world is one that I routinely return to. His passion and intense research is something that I can easily relate to and find inspiration in.
The secondary biographical, historical, and artistic images tell the story of this mythical artist and this modern art masterpiece, his self portrait. Van Gogh made out of Van Gogh paintings. "We are what we create."

My Background
Toronto area, full time, Serialist Painter and OCAD graduate who’s been a full time working artists since 2017. Focusing my artistic adventures on the Serialist medium I created during my thesis year of university. Combining my love of research and complex Serialist Pinting method into large hand made original artwork.
My Medium
My Serialist medium allows me to combine all my interests into one process. Serialist Painting is History, research, humour, storytelling and artistic attention to detail. Constructing a primary image entirely out of cut & pasted secondary images produces a visually complex visual narrative through these images contextually juxtaposed meaning.
Example: A serialist Donald Trump portrait constructed out of images of Pinocchio. Becomes: Chump Guevara, aka: The Liar in Chief.
