Wisniewski has created a particularly successful iteration by overlaying portraits with organic patterns—from flowers to jagged peaks to a Rorschach blot. He came to the combination through experimentation. “It just sort of clicked,” he says. “Natural elements tend to be a little simpler and fit together a bit more obviously with the portraits than urban elements.”
I really like the way Matt experiments with a range of different materials and the images I've chosen obscure the subjects face which i also really like.
He mentions in one of his interviews that he takes his portrait pictures first and then experiments with different textures and finds a texture that co responds with the portrait.I like this because its like he is reading there personality from the inside and trying to convey that on the outside.
The first picture is of a chic looking kind of girl i can tell this by the leather top and the quiff in her hair and Matt has tried to convey this by collaging her with coral over her hair and part of her face this could indicate that she's a kind of hard girl strict and not sensitive.
I like the second picture the best because of the contrast of the black and white to colour i love this kind of idea, The fact that Matt has used blue and hints of yellow paint suggest peace and tranquillity so maybe this person is a really peaceful one and humble.
These two pieces would effectively look really cool together because of the way they are set up the woman figure is turned different way to the male. The fact that the connotations of the woman are not sensitive and quite hard and the male is calm and peaceful immediately creates a binary opposition between the two.
Overal i think these pieces are composed really well and link in perfectly to the exam theme 'Covert and Obscured".
