051 - Dotty Popton by Jett Pavlica

26" x 20" - Archival pigments plotted on bristol

I'm inspired by portraiture, especially its place in creating and honoring icons since the inception of art. The tools I use, including self written software and drawing robots, are distinctly modern compared to the art of portraiture and the notion of a cultural icon. I was inspired by this idea of technique reaching forward and backward through time, meeting in a land where Dolly Parton and pop art styles can live harmoniously.
