86 Elizabeth taylor (2022)Collage
by Manel Villalonga

Technique: acrylic collage and transfer.
This work employs the technique of collage, layering various printed materials such as newspaper clippings and textured papers. The subject, the portrait of Elizabeth Taylor, is rendered in a palette of black and white greys that creates a striking contrast with the overlapping papers. The face is rendered with a mixture of graphic and pictorial elements that suggest a composition of different printed sources. Splashes of ink and various printed textures have been incorporated into the composition to add visual interest and a sense of depth. The composition is asymmetrical, but is arranged in such a way as to draw the viewer's attention to the sitter's face. The artistic style is bold and unconventional, with a unique use of visual elements and techniques, different from typical portrait approaches.
