Charlotte Caron

The paintings by artist Charlotte Caron explores both the ancient tendency to humanize animals and the dreams of humans to transform into animals.  Caron’s uses acrylic to paint over the photographed portraits to make them look like animals. I am using Caron's work as research as she hides the identity of the person in the photograph making the viewer project a narrative onto a person and this is what i want my work to do. Even thought the face is covered there seem to be a personality shown through the paintings. I do really like the composition of the portraits such as a straight on or slightly side view of the person cropped closely, this will be to show the painting but I think it makes you connect more with the view the closer cropped the image is.
