Temple of Art

Me and You
18" x 6"

Oil painting on sealed , acid free, 100 % cotton rag paper
mounted on panel. 
Within the space between the scarf I did a painting
on top of  a photographed portrait
by Allan Amato.

Temple of Art is a collaborative project by photographer Allan Amato and 50 participating artists.
Since early 2012 Allan has been photographing fine artists and inviting them to interpret those portraits through their particular medium.  While shooting his portraits , Allan found himself asking the artists  about their process, their motivations, and lives.  The Temple of Art Documentary will provide an insightful look into the lives of these artists by following the progress of the collaborations from conception to completion, alongside interviews.  


Here is my original portrait by Allan Amato :
