ZAM V3 (OS MAIN) II55

Zams portrait work often features celebrated cultural figures; more recently whole images are constructed from thousands of tiny individual digital pieces. 
His recent Modern Girls, Modern Boys series has been a purely experimental exploration of a medium genre, and takes inspiration from happenstance collage such as the accumulation of street bill-posting and tagging. 
The subjects, overlaid with clusters of collage fragments, and paint splashes and drips remain discernible; the random detritus creates a mysterious and slightly disturbing effect. 
In particular this piece is also inspired by the portrayal of rituals around death and the afterlife; and its glamorization in popular culture.
