Isla Visor

Isla Visor is a portrait of a girl named Isla, captured wearing a visor and painted directly onto a substrate of VHS tapes.


The background was first built up using pink spray paint, creating a bold and contemporary base, before the portrait itself was rendered entirely in oil.


The contrast between the obsolete VHS material, the vivid sprayed colour and the more traditional oil-painted figure gives the piece its character — combining nostalgia, portraiture and contemporary surface treatment in a simple, playful way.
