"Chiron Return" (Self-portrait) (2024)
Face and hand prints; acrylic on linen, 16” x 20”
Hot press archival print is 14”×18”
All prints are created at The Stackhouse Printery.
Purchase the original for $3500. Email Shanna at info@shannamcnair.com to buy the painting. The painting is not varnished, as varnish would detract from the variously textured surface. The painting is not framed traditionally. The edges of the painting are painted with a dark grey acrylic and gesso mix. Careful shipping is $50 additional.
This is a departure from my usual oil painting. I wanted to actually press my hands and face into the paint to achieve the self-portrait—and that vision could not be achieved by using oil paints. I listened to Karen O’s album “Lux Prima” a lot in the wee hours of the morning as I created this painting. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mMosNNgu-3TRIAd_AUEzJpvtayAhW5C1A
