This is a funeral painting. There are maybe three failed paintings under this one. I found this image while digging through eBay and it made me feel deeply unsettled. The idea of this man’s death being recorded, forgotten, and then digitally exhumed for consumption and profit. I wanted to free this figure from that world, offering instead an open-ended exploration of his personhood while doing my best to show reverence and love. My depiction of his face is intentionally vague. Taylor Simmons
