Ryan Hewett 🇿🇦 New Painting • Print Release • For Sale, by 11 on Apr 24, 2015 1:02:30 GMT 1, Went along to this show tonight with a few from here knowing very little about the artist or his work. As I first went in I thought it was just another series of head portraits so didn't pay too much attention (they just aren't my thing) but I have to say, once I started having a real look and studying the paintings, they were amazing.
Not even knowing the theme of the show I realised that I could actually make out recognisable political & historical figures - making the comment "I'm sure that one looks like Hitler" At which point someone pointed out the theme 
The textures and depth on each piece were amazing and quality of work was incredible, I found it fascinating that the more you studied each painting, the clearer the portrait became and what seemed to be random layers and scrapes of paint became something completely different as your eyes slowly absorbed and interpreted each layer
I got snaps of the whole show but won't spoil it as it's definitely worth going along to see - but here's a couple of teasers - Weirdly the camera makes the portrait so much easier to make out - so go and see the show for yourself if you can
