About the Item

"Half Portrait in Orange" (2015) by David Crismon Oil on black galvanized metal 34 x 27 inches "Half Portrait in Orange" exemplifies David Crismon's innovative fusion of classical portraiture with contemporary digital aesthetics. Rendered in oil on black galvanized metal, the piece measures 34 by 27 inches, presenting a striking reinterpretation of traditional portraiture. In this work, Crismon deconstructs and reassembles elements of historical imagery, creating a fragmented composition that reflects the influence of digital processes on visual perception. The deliberate segmentation and layering evoke the glitches and distortions characteristic of digital media, challenging the viewer's perception and inviting contemplation on the intersection of history and technology. Crismon's technique involves applying oil paint to a metal substrate, a choice that enhances the depth and luminosity of the colors while providing a modern twist to classical themes. The use of black galvanized metal as a canvas not only adds a contemporary edge but also symbolizes the fusion of past and present—a recurring theme in Crismon's body of work. This piece is part of Crismon's "Dislocated Histories" series, where he explores the transformation of historical images through modern technology. By referencing and manipulating classical art forms, Crismon creates a dialogue between the old and the new, prompting viewers to reconsider the ways in which history is perceived and represented in the digital age. "Half Portrait in Orange" is a unique work and serves as a compelling focal point for contemporary interiors, appealing to collectors and art enthusiasts who appreciate the convergence of classical artistry and modern conceptual frameworks.
