Self-portrait as his father

Self-portrait as his father by Richard McWhannell

Artwork Detail

'I am endlessly fascinated by my own physiognomy. By painting myself, I can scrutinise the familiar, make small distortions to enliven the image. I don’t paint self-portraits to promote my own self-image so much as involve my love of painting.'
