Augmented Portraits Gallery

This series of portraits challenge and confront expectations placed on the human form. The portraits include multiple features and other unexpected attributes.  They are comprised of shapes and patterns in bright colors accentuated by black outline. While each face is representational, the overall effect of this style is draw the eye into individual colorful abstract components that result in the structure of composition.  This coupled with odd or unexpected facial features create a mild pleasant confusion which slows the process of the art's consumption.
