Girl in Transition
1 of 1 Editions Available
This work is part of a larger series, "Painted Girls", based on the 1665 Vermeer painting "Girl with a Pear Earring". The artist uses the unblemished young girl's face as a starting point for an investigation of identities and personality, trying out different overlays of paint and accessories, like a young girl looking for who she might be.
Using an artificial intelligence algorithm, the work "Girl in Transition" shows the girl from the original painting fused with a painted portrait of a bearded man, exploring facets of gender and identity.
