The commanding dual installation Pharrell Williams 3 and 4 (2018) stands as a definitive milestone highlighting the structural sophistication and conceptual weight of Cristian Hunter’s acclaimed Glass Series. This exceptional fine art photography diptych challenges traditional lens dynamics by transforming two high-fashion portraits into a raw, paired physical sculpture. Hunter meticulously layers sharp black-and-white prints of cultural icon Pharrell Williams beneath a secondary, blurred iteration printed directly on premium glass panels, which are then intentionally fractured using specialized tools. The calculated, mirroring alignment of the resulting crystalline fragments on top of the countenances yields a magnetic, kaleidoscopic optical depth that fractures the static concept of celebrity identity. Delivering a monumental scale and supreme narrative weight, this multi-panel masterwork serves as an elite architectural centerpiece for prestigious private or institutional art collections.
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.
