Facial Make-Ups

Borin Van Loon: Face-make 11Facial Make-up2. jpeg 360k

An intriguing way of exploring the human face (and more!).
Part cut-up, part chance, part premeditation; rhythmical and disconcerting,
this technique was developed from an intial "moment of revelation" in the
sixties and a full portfolio produced in a rush in recent years.

Borin Van Loon: "It occurs to me that at least one other, more famous, artist has employed photography in a sampled, repeated, muti-angled manner to explore subjects: David Hockney. The distinct difference in approach is that Hockney uses the camera as a tool of investigation, then selects and manipulates the photographic prints to produce startling landscapes and portraits which spill over the surface. My own approach is based on found images which suggest juxtapositions and rhythms which allow the viewer to glimpse multiple parts of one image, often blended with one or more which become evident only after contemplation."
