Your Face in History
by Vanessa Conte


*2001 Painting Odyssey* by James Juett

Would you like to have your portrait painted? As part of his new series of paintings on contemporary culture and heritage, British artist James Juett is asking you to send PaintingsDIRECT your portrait photograph to be considered for inclusion in his next body of work. If your photo is chosen, he will paint your face on a single television set located within the setting of one of these art works.


*2001 Goodale Park, No. 9 of 26* by James Juett

Crossing boundaries of both culture and time is not a new approach for Juett, as his past works often juxtapose contemporary, historical, pop and fine art references to comment on how many layers of imagery we encounter in our daily lives.

In this new body of old English interiors, there will be windows in each of the rooms that look out onto picturesque landscapes of trees and lakes, inspired by 17th and 18th-century British masters. These scenes are taken from a body of small watercolor paintings that the artist is selling on PaintingsDIRECT.com.
