Behind The Scene Plate #4

This bold decorative plate deftly reimagines Rogier van der Weyden's Portrait of a Lady to redefine conceptions of art and beauty. Made of porcelain using digital and manual techniques by artist Thayse Viégas, the woman's traditional hairstyle and diaphanous veil is replaced with a bob pulled back with a cloth headband, to maintain a crease-free hair style. Hung in a living room or set on a console, this piece unmasks the un-glamorous faces of beauty existing across the spectrum of art and society.
