Christina West’s Candy Colored Spray Painted Spin On Classical Sculpture
Through the use of bright color, spray paint, and clever distortions, Atlanta based artist Christina West’s work puts a fun, humorous and contemporary spin on a classical aesthetic. West sculpts busts and full figures that begin as traditional looking white ceramic pieces, yet are matched with moments of almost ice cream cake or jawbreaker like slices. Her process begins as the classic method of creating a casted sculpture does; she creates her portraits based on a desire for likeness. However, once the piece comes out of the mold, West gives herself a freedom to play and likeness no longer becomes her purpose. Instead, she aims to, as stated in the gallery statement for her upcoming show at CG2 gallery in Nashville, TN, “highlight the alienation that I inevitably feel with others because their thoughts and feelings are inaccessible; I can never be in another head as completely as i am in my own” (source).

Da Vinci's Hidden Portrait Revealed Beneath the <i>Mona Lisa</i>
Screencap via BBC Mona Lisa wasn't always so mysterious—at least, not according to multi-spectrum analysis by French scientist Pascal Cotte, who was granted exclusive access to the painting in 2010. Since then, he's been developing technology designed to see "under" famous artworks' many layers of paint, effectively revealing the first drafts of our most admired masterpieces. Previously, his technique claimed to reveal the original colors of da Vinci's mysterious subject, and suggested another, The Lady with an Ermine, had been substantially edited as well. Multi-spectral analysis is the key to Cotte's findings. Pascal Cotte exposed The Mona Lisa to light from every part of the spectrum for his research Assuming Cotte's findings are true, it seems that the most iconic parts of The Mona Lisa were added at the end. That said, Cotte's new report is more controversial than the The Lady with an Ermine, since they strip da Vinci's subject of her famous fourth wall-breaking gaze and sly smile.
