Category Archives: Masks
I have a deep interest in masks (as well as the conceptual and symbolic idea, value, and mystery possessed within them). For me, masks may serve as a conduit to reveal one’s genuine intentions and identity, while simultaneously potentially hiding or disguising one’s true self to the world. With this said, masks or otherwise concealing/revealing head “apparatuses” are a major part of my symbolic, surrealist and pop-oriented visual vocabulary.

This painting is part of several of my series (and themes), including masks, Morton Salt Girl, Captain America logo, and, of course, the Selfie. I took the face from a central character in an upcoming Pixar movie, “Book of Life”, directed by Guillermo Del Toro. I was motivated to make a painting referencing “Dia de los Muertos” because we are entering Autumn and the season of Halloween, All Saints Day, and, of course, Dia de los Muertos (celebrated, venerated and observed on November 2nd in Mexican and pre-Columbian/Mesoamerican cultures for hundreds of years).
