Oil on Canvas. This painting was inspired by magazine covers of the 1940’s and 50’s and those of the present day. The painted Emoji face could be taken to be a symbol for the whole social media phenomenon of modern times. Technically speaking, I enjoyed the challenge of painting both the smooth skin tones and the flashy, cartoonish emoji head. The painting is also much larger than those I normally paint (a deliberate choice of working outside of my comfort zone).
