A richly layered oil painting by Tom Phillips that reimagines the physiognomic studies of eighteenth-century Swiss theorist Johann Caspar Lavater, transforming his pseudoscientific portraits into a haunting procession of faces. Phillips employs his characteristic blend of appropriation and painterly invention, manipulating historical imagery to probe questions of identity, judgment, and the human urge to classify. The result is a visually dense and unsettling parade of countenances that challenges the viewer to confront the violence inherent in reducing individuals to types.
