After i researched both artists i thought that both styles of work might mix well in one piece of work. For this piece i used a pallete knife and acrylic paint to build up a lot of layers to one piece. I used Chuck Hodi's work to inspire the shape of the face, the style of Jenny Saville for the way of applying the paint and partly my own style to finish the picture. I Dont like this piece because of the hairline. As i didnt use a picture to get the shape of the face correct and did it all from my own knowledge of the human face the forehead was origionally far too small so i was forced to add a long fringe which falls infront of the face. I do like the effect that was creates by using the pallet knife however this piece dosent really fit in with the rest of my work as it was an experimental piece and has no message in relation to body modification behind it.
