Amanda Demme, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait photograph by Amanda Demme features a subject whose face and upper body are heavily coated in a thick layer of white paint or clay. The subject has vivid, exaggerated red lips and holds their dark, mud-stained hands up near the chest in a delicate gesture. A broad, opaque black horizontal stroke is painted directly across the upper face, masking the eyes. The background is a stark, neutral white surface that highlights the textured, raw brushwork on the subject's skin.
