Portrait Within A Portrait

Artist Seamus Wray wins for quarantine project of the year. Seeing this first photograph of Wray painting a portrait of himself wearing the exact same outfit is impressive to say the least, but don’t think that it starts and ends with this. He repeats this process of painting portraits of himself five times and the end result is too good. I don’t want to spoil it for you so I’m going to send you to [Colossal] for the full effect.

“Wray hopes the potentially infinite project begs the questions, “What comes next? Another painting. Are we all just living in a painting? What if this is a painting, within a painting?”
