About this artwork
This painting is part of an ongoing series about the essence of the portrait and the face. It is called 'icon' because it refers to both iconic works from the art history (the scream by Munch for example) and the appearance of the face in the Medieval religious icons. By adding new layers of paint and abstract forms during the process, the face becomes more iconic. It moves from the individual towards the universal, revealing secrets and inner expression.…
This work is the first one in which Casper Verborg combined oil painting with spray paint. It gave him the possibility to experiment with a different approach of applying color onto the canvas: instead of waiting until one layer was dry enough, Verborg could immediately add another one with surprisingly results, as can be seen in the bright yellow circle.
