Artist Statement
In her solo exhibition “Portrayed” Mallory Hanes takes found photographs one step further. Inspired by photorealist Chuck Close, Mallory uses only black and white oil paints heightening the contrast between shadow and highlights in her work. Her subjects amplified facial expressions are what bring animation and dimensionality to this series, bridging her passion for portraiture and tone. ‘Portrayed” captures Mallory’s sheer joy of painting. Artist Biography Born and raised in Ottawa Ontario, Mallory Hanes will graduate from the Fine Arts Diploma program, Ottawa School of Art in the spring of 2019.
