This is probably one of my favourite paintings I have created! Cindy is an imitation of Cindy Sherman, a strong and powerful female artist in today's society who is best known for her conceptual portraits. I decided to impersonate one of her portraits called Untitled Film Still #21 (1978). Her work was of a black and white photograph which I altered using bright colours to express her spontaneous personality and intellectual concerns. I really like the idea of impersonating Cindy Sherman who is taking the role of someone else, in this case a small-town girl just happening upon a big city. This painting is about the alteration of identity and how it can be manipulated and formed to become or embed parts of a new identity. I sometimes question myself "who am I?" Wondering upon my own identity, personality and achievements. Therefore, I mimic a female artist in hope that I will learn more about myself and about the artist I become and choose to impersonate.

Artist Statement

My current body of work is a series of portraits, in which I impersonate female artists who inspire me. Part performance, part portraiture, part exploration of colour, I use bright oil paints with loose yet bold brushstrokes. This specific combination of mark-making is attempting to reflect my personality and culture within the portraits, although the main focus is the (real or false) enigma of the artist. Frida Kahlo de Rivera and Georgia O’Keeffe were, and still are, publically portrayed as being other or god-like. More widely, artists create work that seems to be removed from their personal lives and experiences, and yet the context of those experiences can colour the way their work is viewed by the audience. My work repeats an image of a contemporary female artist embodying an iconic (most often dead) female artist; retaining my own sense of self and artistic integrity, whilst paying homage to the legacy of those who came before me.

Identity can be formed by impersonating others around us, and I believe we see parts of ourselves in those we admire, as well as traits we hope to absorb or learn. Whether intentional or not, we mimic the quirks and characteristics of our idols which then ultimately becomes part of our own identity. We introduce aspects of their behaviour, intellectual concerns, cultural references and achievements to our own understanding of their work and, in turn, our own artistic influences.
