Self-Deception Portraits

Self-Deception is a series of illustrated self-portraits by Gillian Lambert, who recently graduated from Kenyon College with a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art. “I have always found something beautiful in the grotesque– the repulsive, the awkward, the vulnerable, the psychologically enigmatic.” she says about this series of self-reflective works.

I like the materials she uses in her works and the grey/black/white colour palette. The expressions in her portraits are impressive and I like the realism in them.
