Jeff Ramirez’s superb, deeply personal painted portraits feature figures whose faces are obscured or hidden completely. When asked, Ramirez explained that they reference society’s current obsessions with social networks and the overwhelming amount of so called “personal” photographs on them. The obscuring of the subjects also explores Jeff’s trouble trying to assimilate within different groups as a teenager. Jeff currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. – Zach Tutor
