Marilyn Minter, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait photograph by Marilyn Minter features a human face obscured and heavily distorted behind thick, vertical streaks of glossy paint. The composition is dominated by vibrant tones of turquoise, magenta, and gold, creating a heavily textured and sensory surface. The features of the face, including the eyes and lips, are softly discernible beneath the viscous layers. The vertical smearing technique creates a high-contrast interplay between smooth glossy finishes and saturated colour palettes. The overall visual effect is intensely tactile, abstract, and contemporary.
