A portrait in a red helmet -- the face obscured, the identity replaced by an object that signals protection, speed, and anonymity simultaneously. Helmets in art have a long history: Rembrandt's Man in a Golden Helmet (now attributed to his workshop), Darth Vader as cultural icon, the motorcycle helmets of pop art and street photography. The red helmet here is contemporary: the kind worn by cyclists, motorcyclists, and extreme sports athletes. The combination of the classical portrait format with the modern object creates an image suspended between periods. Printed in gallery-quality UV ink on Grade-A Canadian maple. About this deck
