Description

"These Incarnation prints are based on works of art that I created for my Photo Synthesis exhibition in Fotografiska using collages, layers of translucent aerosol paint and smeared paint with patterned stencils. I am very satisfied with the way the prints reflect the character and subtleties of the works of art. The portrait of a woman holding a carnation on her chest and maintaining direct eye contact with the viewer means a protective position of environmental health." Shepard Fairey
