Comment

One part of a series inspired by self-portraits and portraits of Western and Japanese painters.

This piece was inspired by French artist Jean-Siméon Chardin's audacious self-portrait. Painters' self-portraits sometimes exude an unruly aura because of the subject's sharp gaze.

The Trash Gang is a group of futuristic figures that combines the concept of self-portraiture with modern machinery and waste.
