Levine Queen Mirrored
( As the Famous See Themselves 1 )
Michael St. Mark 2016

First in a ground-breaking London Dada series, portraying mirror images of the rich and famous past and present. A fascinating glimpse into their personal worlds – the subtle difference from the ubiquitous press photographs we’re all familiar with; to how they’re accustomed to seeing themselves in their Everyday mirrors.

Reversed digitally-manipulated and appropriated image derived from Chris Levine’s Time cover image of The Queen from 2012.

Taking the artist @chrislevine Chris Levine’s famous rendition of Queen Elizabeth II and reversing it in a mirror to give an impression of how her Majesty’s face would have familiarly appeared to her in the royal looking glass each day.
Part of the series ” How the famous see themselves, related to our other “Artists as they were” series; reversing images of old masters’ self-portraits in order to reveal a closer accuracy as to how they actually appeared to others in the day.
