This was my second image from a photo that I took off the screen. This is were the bride comes apart in glorious technicolour.
In this image, the use of different colours was necessary because otherwise everything apart from the eye would have been one unrecognizable mass. What I like about it is the balance beween nearly abstract forms and a strong expression. And of course the crazy, glowing colours. The whole image nearly jumps off the wall. I have two of them that look nearly indentical, which I framed and put up the wall of my room side by side. The doubling made it even more intense. I used a more subtle form of double exposure here, for which I used a light white colour with which I created blurry borders, and afterwards the thick, heavy hull paint for the sharp borders. I used hull paint because I needed so much paint, which made modelmaking paint too expensive. Luckily I lived in Kiel at the time, so hull paint was easy to come by.
