Framing advice
This is a standard size (8” x 10”), and you can find affordable off-the-shelf frames if you prefer to frame it yourself. I can arrange professional framing similar to that shown here for $250, which is about the same as you would pay plus the extra packaging and shipping costs. For more details, see my framing advice.
About this collection
We’re used to seeing what’s solid, not the light that hits it. My aim with this series is to create just enough light for our minds to picture what it illuminates. There is no way to remove the marks, so these are also an exercise in restraint and stopping before I think I’m ‘done’.
Why men? The female muse is everywhere, from renaissance to pop art. But there is beauty and interest in men’s faces too, and subverting the trope is fun. There is also diversity, with this series featuring men of different heritages.
Light and Men portraits are my most affordable original artworks. While I personally like (and buy) fine art prints to enjoy what I couldn’t otherwise afford, there is still something special about an original. I’d like to give more people the opportunity to have their own.
