Anne Harris

Anne Harris's work is really cool because its painted traditionally like old masters paintings, but its modern . She paints in many layers starting with veins and under flesh and paints lighter layers over that.

These paintings I choose are self portraits of the artist. They are distorted in the way that they don't look like the artist completely. The face looks different in each one. She shows all the details of the body like fat and cellulite. She wants to show what a real woman's body looks like. One of the paintings was when she was pregnant.

The portraits are very in your face. Her arms are always to the side so she can show all the details of the body. They are interesting cause they are modeled yet they blend into the background. The background is a flesh itself.
