Retrato con dos caras de perfil una a color y la otra en blanco y negro.
Tuymans effect is what Ibáñez parodies in this painting, a way of portray a monochromatic photograph of something but intentionally without technical perfection. The artist here laughs by painting instead the original object and the one tricked with the effect. Tuymans effect comes from the work of the photographer Luc Tuymans and was named by his critics.
Alberto Ibañez studied plastic arts at the UDLAP, a painter that goes for realism and abstraction; his work goes around pop culture criticizing in different ways.
