Statement
The series Cultured Figures (started in 2020) focuses on figures made of mold, spore, and bacteria cultures. The vision of the series is to present the perfection of the human form in what most would deem as disgusting. The visual realm created by these organisms is infinite, vastly complex, colorfully chaotic, and immensely beautiful. Part 1 consists of 10 portraits and was completed June 2022. Part 2 will consist of full body figures and is currently in progress. All paintings are done in oil on 15”x20” illustration board.
