About this artwork
Casper Verborg painted this small portrait during his residency in France (March 2019).
It is not something he does often, but on this one he reworked an older work again. The original painting depicted a woman's portrait which was too pale and without expression. It turned out into this colorful and intense work. This painting belongs to 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 and more iconic. It moves from the individual towards the universal, revealing secrets and inner expression.
