About this artwork
This painting is a portrait of Charles Darwin. He has painted Darwin's portrait several times through the years but this remains his favorite. With layers of paint built up to resemble flesh, along with a dramatic and expressive background, this painting fascinates and intrigues those who take the time to admire it.

« My paintings are my attempt at leaving physical memories for myself and others by way of portraiture. »
At the age of 15, on a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago with his parents, Jonathan Mcafee was stopped in his tracks by Warhol's 'Mao,' and definitely marked the start of his artistic pursuits. Today, Mcafee is busy composing expressive portraits centred on the theme of memory.
