TECHNIQUE
Black combines his natural craft skills with a deep appreciation for materials—many of which are recognisable everyday objects—to create striking portraits and abstract works. Employing a meticulous technique of hand-painting and altering each tiny object, he achieves gentle lines and shading that give life to his subjects. Black has pioneered an elaborate new form of pixelation, embedding subtle implications and layers of meaning within his images.
His distinctive style encourages viewers to engage with his works by appreciating the composition as a whole while exploring the intricate details that bring it to life.
