Painting of two men from the neck up in front of a wood paneled wall on a wooden stand

Elisheva Biernoff: Selected Works

Elisheva Biernoff: Selected Works

Elisheva Biernoff’s hypnotically detailed works are based on found, anonymous photographs which are painted to exact scale. In the process of making each work—which requires two to three months to complete—Biernoff pays close attention to the images, perhaps more than the photographers who originally made them.
