Portraits
Likeness is the essential element of portraiture, although
today, portraiture encompasses so much more than facial structure and accurate
depiction. The interpretive elements of modern portraiture transcend the
discipline and genre, with modern portraiture straddling the territory of
figure studies, illustration and general human expression.
I did this first portrait of Nelson Mandela as a tribute to
the great man in 2009. I chose him because I knew that most portraits carry a
resemblence of the person as opposed to being an accurate depiction and
likeness of the individual.
Nelson Mandela is so well known that I wanted to use his
image to prove to myself and anyone entrusting me with a commission of a piece
of portratiute, that absolute accuracy, likeness and expression are qualities
that sit inside my wheelhouse of capability.
