Untitled from the Transformation Series (Signed Limited Edition of 50) by Whitney McVeigh

The male and female human form and in particular the portrait of the head are recurring themes in Whitney McVeigh’s work. Her treatment of the figure is in the spirit of other contempory artists such as Francis Bacon and Robert Motherwell. She sees her ‘Heads’ series as representative ‘of a frailty beneath the complex surface of us all’.
