I WORK WITHIN THE CLASSICAL LANGUAGE OF EUROPEAN PORTRAITURE: ITS HIERARCHIES, ITS COMPOSURE, ITS CLAIM TO PERMANENCE. I SHIFT THE SUBJECT JUST ENOUGH FOR WHAT SUSTAINS IT TO COME INTO VIEW.
THIS IS EXPOSURE.
WHAT APPEARS SELF-CONTAINED CARRIES DEPENDENCE.
WHAT READS AS SINGULAR AUTHORITY IS STRUCTURED, SUPPORTED, AND MAINTAINED.
THE INTELLIGENCE, LABOR, AND STABILIZING FORCE THAT UPHOLD IMPERIAL AND ARISTOCRATIC DISPLAY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE SEEN. IN THESE PAINTINGS, THEY ARE.
