Today Michael Jackson passed away and in recognition of a profound and complex performer, I have created his portrait. Making this piece was at first more challenging as his facial dynamics changed so much through his adult life. I wanted to capture his essence while embracing the many sides of Michael Jackson into one all encompassing portrait of his being.
The artwork is available in an open edition series, signed for $50 in the Store.
Perhaps his most influential album for me was, “Off The Wall” which he recorded in 1979. He made the album with Quincy Jones and many performers contributed such as Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder.
He won his first Grammy with this album and it ultimately ended up in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
