An Intervention in Painting is an ongoing series that examines the world’s most expensive paintings sold to private collectors. These sculpture illustrations play between what is real and what is abstract, presenting a new union of painting-sculpture.

Using traditional painting methods and materials, each work is the cast shadow, according to museum standards, and is true to the size of the original painting. The colors chosen are in place of the gradation of greys from the original cast and are decided with the consciousness of reality through my own experience while simultaneously betraying  it's identity as a painting.
