These are the beautifully bizarre mixed media portraits of Brooklyn based artist AM DeBrincat. They are combination of old and new, digital and analog… so yes, when I say ‘mixed media’, I’m not kidding:
DeBrincat’s process starts by appropriating photos from analog and digital archives – historical portrait photography, commercial ad campaigns, and selfies from social media – and arranging small sections of up to 50 photos into a single, deceptively seamless digital composition. DeBrincat then combines colored pencil, acrylic painting, xerox transfer printing, and oil painting to create a hybrid image which transfers the digital image onto canvas and interweaves digital photography with centuries-old painting techniques. From this intricate layering process emerge portraits that complicate the boundaries between the digital and the hand-wrought image, and which question the lines we draw between the digital world and “real life.”
Fantastic.
of course… I LOVE! these
Not for me, I’m afraid.
A bit too messy.

Initially very alluring but after spending time with this work ,5 min., I see the “digital” overpowering the ” life”. Keep working though, just put some more of your “life” into it. You are on to something wonderful, just needs more seemlessness .
