Description

The Last of the Behrupia (Impersonator)

A gaudy exposition of visual excesses, employing shock and awe in an entertainment form that pre-dates broadcast.
Behrupias or Impersonators, are a dying vocation that once drew large crowds through vivid projections of demons, animals and mythical creatures drawn from a deeply personal interpretation of popular fiction.
This typology of portraits preserves this wonderful and awe-inspiring art-form in all its glory and detail.

BEHRUPIA have never been captured in a portrait setting.
