Seulgi
(The Mask)

Oil on canvas
24 x 18 inches
2021
This portrait of my friend Seulgi, painted in a sweet, slightly naif style, references the Korean culture of beauty routines that has become popularized worldwide. Her smiling face evokes the everyday domestic pleasure of self-care and the universality of girlhood, while the absurd, almost froglike appearance of the mask, coupled with the dreamlike purple background, suggests a kind of transformation or metamorphosis.
