“Victoria” is a painting in a series created in 2021. Each painting started with a scaled sketch of a model that was redrawn to simplify the features and flatten the image. The image was then transferred to a number of recycled paper bags using an overheard projector. Each stencil was cut out by hand and spray painted. The eyes and lips required several stencil to build the line and shape, and additional stencils were used to build up color and depth. The areas of light and dark were built up after the initial facial features were painted. Each stencil created an asymmetrical line due to over spray given the piece a unique geometric piece.
The painting is large size format, 30” wide by 45” tall, on Canson Edition Paper 212lb (250gsm), made from acid-free 100% cotton. The artwork can be shipped easily rolled up and unboxed let to unroll a couple of days before being framed or mounted.
Victoria is the Roman goddess of victory, the equivalent of the Greek goddess Nike, and is the daughter of Pallas and Styx. She is often depicted bearing a laurel wreath or palm branch.
