with cut edges. Hand-signed and numbered by the artist. Edition of 90 and 10 Artist Proofs. 80 cm x 68.5cm.
This brand of hyper-contemporary psychological portraiture aims to deconstruct the personality traits of the sitter, using geometric shapes as building blocks to convey the complexity of human emotion, and bridge the gap between our internal feelings and external appearance. Jason is exploring the visceral elements of our mental landscape, the whole canopy of internal experience seeps through us, in our image and actions; Jason wishes to capture this in a way that nods to our increasingly close connections to digital versions of ourselves.
“Simple, colourful and expressive. Everyone is unique like a psychological fingerprint.” – Jason Boyd Kinsella
Watch
"A portrait can be unsettling to the person I have portrayed, because it puts on display the vulnerable pieces that they try to hide."
