osmosis

This series of paintings/photographs from artist Charlotte Caron stood out from the crowd for me. Part human, part animal, the paintings are Charlotte’s response to a form of duality. In one sense, the medium of painting and the art of photography have merged, but are still clearly separate in their styles. The photographic human portraits have been over-painted with acrylic animal heads to ultimately create an osmosis between paint and photograph, between the animal and the portrait. I find them fascinating in a slightly odd way. What do you think?
