Realistic portrait painters are generally more concerned with the final outcome of a painting, rather than emphasizing and revealing the process used to get to that point. However, Colin Chillag not only embraces the painting process in his paintings, he uses that concept to create unique/visually captivating positive and negative space. “Chillag mimics the impassivity of the cameras that dominate and anesthetize our culture. In doing so, he reveals an essential reality: To cope with the onslaught of visual information, we edit out the unimportant details of everything we see. We see so much that we have stopped noticing, in self-defense.” (via Sweet Station)
