A curation by Natalie Slater, Art Agent at Snap Collective - A curation of contemporary painters who challenge the idea of portraiture through interruption.
Each face is present, but not intact — smeared, crossed, or covered in strokes that both obscure and reveal.
‘Painted Over’ explores the push and pull between image and interference. The gesture becomes more than surface; it’s defiance. These aren’t portraits seeking recognition — they’re resisting it.
Paint here doesn’t decorate — it disrupts. The human face becomes terrain for distortion, vulnerability, and control.
