FINE ART
PORTRAITS
wonder women 2000-2001
Evelyn Hartogh is primarily a performance artist who appears on stage and in
the media, and a writer of scripts and articles, although she is also skilled at illustration and a range of
fine art mediums. She has created works
in pencil, pastel, water colours, oil paints and pen and ink. Her fine art primarily takes the form of
portraiture of herself and other local performers. See More Fine Art.
She has an interest in the divide between image and
identity. Her performance characters and, in particular, her
performance publicity photos, are consciously contrived to
differ from her current day-to-day look.
By using these photos as the starting place for fine artworks she
attempts to further distance the imagery from her own appearance.
Her portraits attempt to ask
questions about what is the authentic self and also play with the notion of
artistic license as she works to further change her appearance in painting or
illustration. Her publicity photos and media appearances also play on this notion of
the distortion of identity.
