| Details: | James Singelis approaches painting as if it were any other kind of job, and he goes to the studio and paints every day whether he feels like it or not. He started doing self-portraits as an academic exercise, trying at first for an accurate likeness. Then he began to loosen up and let things happen, and this brought unexpected results: the drawings began to seem more real than what he saw in the mirror as well as more engaging and provocative. And although the portraits are not photographic images, they do describe him: they portray something other than what he looks like but show who he honestly is. Singelis sees each painting as an opportunity to re-invent himself, and each painting is a visual essay, the diary of an attempt to make a visible record of something intuitive and personal. It is not intended to be the illustration or snapshot of an emotional moment, but rather a history of the interior crosscurrents that occurred while he was painting.
