Sometimes even the silliest ideas turn out to be brilliant in execution. Take Hair Portraits, for example. For starters, while the term clearly conveys its subject matter, you’re undoubtedly wondering exactly what would a portrait of someone’s hair look like. Are we talking portraits of hairstyles that have been painted or photographed, or are they composed, somehow, out of actual hair? Well, thankfully, it’s the former. Some enterprising British artist has created a four piece series of silkscreen prints, each depicting a group of famous ‘dos. The prints run from the immediately recognizable (a foursome from a certain movie trilogy) to the fantastically obscure. The series may make more sense when grouped together as some, such as the heavily permed locks of Guns ‘n Roses, bear more resemblance to potted plants… at least until you figure out the famous domes they belong to.
