This Unique Portraiture Marries the Past With the Present
Laara Cassells pairs contemporary subjects engaged in technology, with figures from historical portraiture painted between 1460 and 1907. “The paintings are mostly inspired by European society portraiture, which, like the modern Facebook page, often present an idealized version of an individual.” Cassells chose models with an eerie resemblance to the sitters in the original paintings. Pictured: Kyre and Blowing Bubbles (after Charles Chaplin) (acrylic on Dibond panel, 39.5×45)
