Carlos Gamez de Francisco
The Unconventional Aspects of Portraiture

About the Item

The Unconventional Aspects of Portraiture displays a female figure posed in purple hue fabrics that are wrapped around her body. With a band-aid on her forehead and bull horns hanging over her shoulders, she sits a traditional portrait pose. The modern neon work gloves on her hands, bull horns on her shoulders, and band aid on her head evoke a feeling of tension suggesting the tension of the past and present. Currently, Carlos Gamez de Francisco’s interest with the past translates into figures, scenarios, and most importantly, the recreation of his own stories. He says, "I am more fascinated in altering history than depicting it accurately.”
