portraits by Austin Young
Portraits by Austin Young. Austin reconstructs tropes of pop art and pop culture into alarmingly brilliant new icons. A portrait is a representation of an individual; it’s intent: to capture the essence of the sitter. This fundamental quality in Austin Young’s work is delicately crafted. Young’s pastel color palate and compositional simplicity foregrounds and imbues subject with an emotional presence and intimacy.
