Fraction 2020

"Fraction" by Kayla Mahaffey is a 2020 contemporary painting featuring a stylized human face with an open section revealing a complex, colorful interior. The work's vibrant palette and surreal imagery suggest an exploration of the inner self, the relationship between outward appearances and inner realities, or perhaps even the digital age's influence on identity. The contrasting elements of the portrait with the cartoon-like characters and graphic shapes create a visually compelling and thought-provoking piece.
