DZINE artist interview: Lucky Rapp

 

San Francisco based visual artist Lucky Rapp presents new work for our #portrait exhibition with a series of mixed media relief panels. Rapp’s witty mustache series plays with the idea of characteristics on a face that can alternately define a person as well as act as a disguise. In a large-scale work titled forever, Rapp uses her own profile in a contemporary interpretation of the silhouette, a mode of portraiture popularized in the early 19th century. Read on to learn about Rapp’s early beginnings as an artist living in Europe and why resin is her medium of choice.
