What does the future look like to you? Let's take a look at what the future looked like 50 years ago. Flying cars, teleportation, alien life forms mixing among us - why can't we have cool stuff like that now?
Taking as my inspiration the meeting of the space race, pop art and the cold war, I present a take on attitudes and fashion of the future - the future from the late 60s. Combining a few techniques - flat pattern, dimensional painting, glazes and silver leaf; to create a kind of "painted collage" I offer a future that never was from a past that we can never dream!
About the Artist
Award winning artist, Paul Morin's portraits are in public and private collections around the world. His portrait of Barack Obama titled “Profile in Hope,” was presented to the president in the Oval Office in 2010. Paul combines a traditional technique with a modern sensibility – images that confront the viewer and with a sense of scale that is very individual.
With empathy and humor, Paul's work celebrates the human spirit and captures the unique look and expression of each sitter - honoring the individual quirkiness that makes each person the human they are! Paul delves into the personality of his subjects much like a candid snapshot reveals the moment-specific projection of a person's inner thoughts. His commissioned portraits bring an immediacy to his subjects revealing an inner life that truly makes the sitter “come alive!”
