Entertain and Devour

A series of paintings dealing with average people wearing wrestling masks doing very non- wrestling things. The Talisman mask is an object meant to give the bearer supernatural power or protection.  Luche Libre masks are featured because of their aesthetic value and design potential.  Stylistically, detail is eliminated for bold colors making it almost cartoon like; which refers back to the idea of having super powers.
