The Illuminated Forgotten
Paintings by Chris Crites
Ghost Gallery - August 2024
"For the past couple of years I had been working on a series of "life size" paintings based on mug shot photographs. The almost one on one intimacy of this scale was enjoyable to me but they proved to be quite time consuming. Coming across a small batch of female Australian mug shot photos I decided to drop the scale and add a shift in the 5 color palette technique I have used for years. Thank you for looking."
