Self-Portrait 2002 No. 9

2002 | oil paint on board | 50 × 43 cm

Philip Akkerman’s entire work is based on his own reflection. So, what do you see when you look in the mirror in the morning?

Akkerman has produced thousands of self-portraits. Some of them are simple and realistic, while others are caricatures. Like in this painting, where the washed-out face is accentuated by the busy background.
