Cut Paper Portrait, Hand Signed by Artist on the back

UNFRAMED

Watercolour on 140 lb paper. This is an original cut paper portrait from an ongoing series that is inspired by intricate patterns of foliage paired with the looser more fluid watercolours.

”Obscured faces peek through tangles of leaves and stems in the ethereal portraits of Toronto-based artist Christine Kim. Her mixed-media collages layer textured graphite gradients and mesh-like cuttings into splintered depictions of her subjects. “‘Fragmentary’ is one word that I return to again and again because I think portraiture is an act of catching glimmers of a person,” she tells Colossal. “I like the idea of not being able to see everything. Having multiple layers partially conceals but the patterns of foliage, (which) also act like a kind of shelter.” - Grace Ebert, Colossal
