The “PortraitVisions” gallery is Paul Chase’s new 2020 project. Each portrait is a large format canvas, 48x48”, 54x54”, 36x48”, etc. Each portrait is of an artist. The artist uses a variety of creative techniques, materials and art mediums for the collection.
The “PortraitVisions” collection also includes many of Paul’s stone carvings inspired by the human head and portraits.
The inspiration for “Portrait Visions” came from a single self-portrait I did as part of a solo show. The power of the larger than life canvas became the focus of this series. A wide variety of media, materials and artistic techniques have been used to portray fellow artists and those artists who have influenced my life and creative endeavors. Each portrait is personal. Each portrait gives a "glimpse" of who the person is.
Paul Chase is a distant relative of Georgia O’Keeffe and has included several portraits from historic photographs
