Overpainted Photographs
These works are dated 2012-2013. Some are small studies where I simply applied oil paint to scanned copies of family snapshots in a gestural manner. For some pieces, once the oil paint was dry, I would scan the overpainted image, print it at an enlarged scale and float mount it to a substrate such as foamcore. From there, I would add more paint to build upon certain areas of the image, dissolving the distinction between image and material.
