The commanding masterwork stands as a definitive milestone highlighting the structural sophistication and conceptual weight of Cristian Hunter’s acclaimed Glass Series, operating at the forefront of contemporary art portraits. This exceptional piece challenges traditional lens dynamics by transforming a high-fashion portrait into a raw, multi-layered physical sculpture. Hunter meticulously layers a sharp black-and-white print of cultural icon Pharrell Williams beneath a secondary, blurred iteration printed directly on premium glass to achieve a multi-dimensional aesthetic. The calculated alignment of these crystalline structures engineered on top of the portrait yields a magnetic, kaleidoscopic optical depth that shifts depending on viewer positioning.
The artist's technique consists of the use of two prints, the first print is the original portraits photography, and the second print is a blurry version of the image printed on glass.
The glass version of the picture is shattered with an iron tool to be able to control the rupture. The artists glued the glass parts on top of the original picture, creating a blurred effect.
