David Slone’s Creepy Floating Head Paintings

David Slone uses oil on panel to create works that are painterly impressions of people with floating heads. The head shot images on drab backgrounds are reminiscent of creepy yearbook photos and similarly capture the awkwardness of the various phases of adolescence. These portraits are loose and interpretive but also contain areas such as the eyes and lips of the subjects that are rendered very realistically. This marriage of impressionism and realism makes for an interesting combination. See more below!
