Deep Fake
Deep Fake is a series of paintings I began working on in 2019, based on the study of color theory and historically sacred relationships to form and color. The paintings in Deep Fake reference the notion of “fake depth”, named after the term Deepfakes (a portmanteau of “deep learning” and “fake”) which refers to synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else’s likeness. The Deep Fake paintings are created with solid opaque fields of color that based on the principles of color theory, in proximity to one another suggest the illusion of depth and overlap. I use gouache and mineral paint for their ultra matte quality to create surfaces that maximally absorb rather than reflect light.
