Disfiguring Lines Portraits

Disfiguring lines Portrait Series 23 faces compilation Signed

Disfiguring Lines aimed to reveal new possibilities beyond the strictures of a single painting through the reproduction of its imagery and the manipulation of its dimensions and format. Existing as prototypes or digital modules, image files could be layered, added, erased and evolved to realize any visual format—from small stickers to massive surfaces. These files each had a unique code which determined their work titles through a consumer ordering system.

The production model for Disfiguring Lines combined an online shopping platform with offline art practices. Since Disfiguring Lines intended to explore a new concept of commercial art, it functioned as both a product showcase and exhibition. Rather than focusing on individualistic aspects of traditional portrait renderings, these images approximated the unanimous anonymity of the online digital reality in glitched A.I. faces.
