These paintings aim to critically explore fashion media, the animalistic preening of models and celebrities and the predatory nature of the camera and culture. They are a cruel ethnographic study of the deeply rooted human want for perfection, a perfection which more often than not transforms one into a more grotesque version of their former self. The images were originally appropriated from the CHLOE advertising campaign, worked up in oil paint and finished with a high-gloss varnish.
