As a big fan of works by Picasso and Warhol I was already familiar with compositions placing an emphasis on heads of subjects. Head Shots follows this format with the unique artistic style that Ellen Abraham has described as incorporating both figurative and the abstract. All of these works of hers stem from live sketches that have been transposed to canvas.

Tomorrow will be the only chance Philadelphians will get to enjoy avant-garde animation from around the globe. What excites me the most about this collection is the fact that every film was hand-crafted without the glitz and glamour of digital touch-ups and filters. I know personally, it’s become more difficult to observe animated footage and determine how much was created at the hand of the artist verses the computer. As the latest creation to [...]
