Shane Guffogg: The Psychological Landscape of Self-Portraits

In this discussion, Shane Guffogg and I unravel the psychological landscape of self-portraits. We talk about how social media has affected personal perception. Also, we explore his upcoming solo exhibition, Shane Guffogg: "40 Years of Self-Portraits." What is interesting and quite unique about this exhibition is Guffogg is widely recognized for his abstract paintings. What people don’t know is that throughout his career he has also been using and referencing his own image to investigate the human condition. 

Shane Guffogg is an American artist that looks through the lens of humanity at civilizations, both past, and present, and views time as threads that connect all people. His work is a visual language that is informed by the spiritualism of abstraction and the realism of the old masters. These two ideas are usually seen as separate but Guffogg fuses them seamlessly into works that transcend and become testaments to thoughts that inform us of who we are in the 21st century.
