Dot Portraits

New York-based creative person Nathan Manire advances his spot Portraits with an abstract, graphic method. He uses large dots and a very wide hue palette to construct his topics' faces with waterhues. Up close, viewers glimpse colorful rounds, precisely arranged in organized lines. To more completely realise Manire's pointillist methods, viewers need to peep their eyes or step back from the image in alignment to glimpse the faces emerge from the large patterns of circular shapes.
Some of Manire's portraits are founded off of the road photography of Peter Zelewski. Manire uses the large minutia of each image as the basis for his magical transformation into rudimentary form and hue. The artist's incredible gifts have become rather well liked, and have been featured in Wire publication and on the Gotye 2012 trip poster.
