THIS IS SO PERFECT
I NEED A PRINT OF THIS
I NEED TO FRAME A PRINT OF THIS
“The Great Wave off Kanagawa” aka “The Great Wave” aka “The Wave” by Hokusai is one of my favorite pieces ever.
Tim Walker’s take on this classical piece is gorgeous. The amount of creativity is just beyond words. This is so beautiful. You don’t understand how much I love this. SO AMAZING.

Part of the “SURFACED” Series
2012
“Surfaced” acknowledges the relationship between photography, painting and drawing in portraiture. I take photographs as I paint and pour liquids onto myself, using my face as a canvas. The photo shoot references the practice of drawing and painting; then the final graphite drawing references photography. The boundaries between the mediums are broken down and the processes are interwoven. “
“The images depart from the framing of traditional portraiture. The viewer is not given an entire bust of the subject, rather the frame zooms into up-close sections of the face. The cropping pushes the face to the surface of the paper, making the figure more ambiguous. Flesh becomes abstracted: obliterated by paint on the skin, distorted by the eye of the camera lens, or smeared by the glass of a Xerox machine.”
This is amazing. Wow. I can hardly believe my eyes.
