CONFUSING CRAKED PORTRAITS

‘Cracked portraits’ by japanese designer Taisuke Mohri are a series of detailed pencil artworks overlayed with a pane of cracked glass – known as the ‘material cracks’. The confronting work errs on the edge of something existent in reality and something imagined – offered only by the precise hyper-real workmanship – where the audience is asked to take a moment to understand and absorb what they are viewing. The delicate pencil studies are disrupted by severe veins of fractured glass, helping the viewer to distinguish what is real and what is artificial.
