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two to three months to complete—Biernoff pays close attention to the images, perhaps more than the photographers who originally made them.
