Portrait of Gregory from Chemical Celestial Portraits

Fred Tomaselli's *Portrait of Gregory* from the *Chemical Celestial Portraits* series is a gelatin silver print enhanced with graphite, blending photographic precision with hand-drawn mark-making. The work reflects Tomaselli's characteristic fascination with the intersection of the natural and the cosmic, transforming a personal portrait into something otherworldly and transcendent. The addition of graphite introduces a tactile, intimate quality that bridges the chemical processes of photography with the immediacy of drawing.
