Paintings by Zou Cao using his own fingerprint as a motif to overlap portraits of well-known figures

Fingerpaints by Chuck Close

Portrait made of fingerprints. Seen from a distance, the painting looks like a giant, silver-toned photograph that unrelentingly reveals every crack and crevice of the sitter’s face. Closer up, the paint surface dissolves into a sea of fingerprints that have an abstract beauty, even as they metaphorically suggest the withering of the sitter’s skin with age.
