Portraits By Phillip John O'sullivan

Artist: Phillip O'Sullivan Uses artists original Eidetic technique which is an alternative to artificial digital technology and uses the human brains convenient (and faster) visual long and short term memory to elicit imagery from pools of paint stains or charcoal dust and to seek from the paper or canvas itself the prompting imagery that the viewer sees. The skill is in picking out the images revealed. It has a tradition in Leonardo's advice to see landscapes in random stains as in Rorschach like ways; revealing the psychology and habitual 'lookings' of the artist.
