For The Term Of Their Natural Lives / A Solo Show By Peter Eastman

A solo exhibition by Peter Eastman shows a series of 16 Portraits of different sizes.
Examples for Titles: Widower, The Unemployed Officer, The Architects Daughter

The visual paradox being that the Portraits are entirely black works that are only visible by the light that illuminates and reflects the painting. The image is only visible from a certain point of view and changes depending on ones view point. The literal paradox being that the titles or descriptions of the persons will always only be a part of the picture, that there is always something hidden or something more, and something contradictory.

All works are painted with oil, enamel and resin on aluminum. The backgrounds are black oil paint, the faces made with shiny reflective enamel. The relief of the lines is created by resin dripped onto the surface.
