CONTEMPORARY NARRATIVE PORTRAITS
Sprouse's most well known and widely collected works are from this continuing
and evolving series that he began in the autumn of 1999. Modeled after faces
selected from vintage and antique photographic imagery, these works offer
a visual bridge between the past and the present.
Unknown faces from subjects
whose history has long since faded, are reawakened into the "now" with visually
crafted narratives that speak of love, loss, beauty, mystery, passion, betrayal,
joy and more.
These works are only a small sample of scores created in this
style which can be found in collections, both private and public, across
North & South America and Europe.
