Art Review: "New takes on classical art forms in two Portland shows"
BY JORGE ARANGO, PORTLAND PRESS HERALD
In “At Face Value,” curator Vincent Maxime Daudin, a collector, fashion industry consultant and creative director in New York and Paris for many years, takes on portraiture, basically turning it on its headshot, so to speak. Through painting, drawing, charcoal, photography, pastel and mixed media, Daudin challenges portraiture’s often idealized depiction of the human form. He is after a more immediate emotional verisimilitude and aims to upset the very nature of what portraiture is."
