Temporal Portraits

by Peter Curtis Morgan  

Daily life, dreams and inner thoughts are woven to present a personal narrative in these experimental works. Each digital painting is a vignette, representing a personal journey and self-portrait. “My obsession with self portraiture, occurred early in my art career. I am intrigued by the temporal nature of the self-portrait and how they can be sensual, ridiculous, meaningful, cryptic or concealed, with their true meaning sometimes only understood by friends and cognoscenti. I wanted to be part of the canon of artistic tradition, which explored the ideas of “Vanitas” (My Vanity of Self) and “Memento Mori” (Remember you must die). I firmly believe the journey to understanding yourself, is based on your understanding of people and the world around you, which informs your own personal construction of self.” These temporal portraits were done as part of something I started this year, making digital paintings/prints each day to express my feelings or experiences. Each portrait is different and done without any limits or restrictions.
