How the painting "Anas" by Reinhard Geller is done.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas is an investigative journalist in Ghana fighting corruption under his motto "name, shame and jail". His life is threatened according to his work. So he hides his face behind a curtzain and has some doubles. Learn more about this man: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anas_Aremeyaw_Anas
I saw an iconic photo in an article by Angelika Jakob (mutmagazin.de; MUT#03) which looked almost like a Dada-performance. But this is real life!
This painting is done stacking layers by layers so hiding things which in fact are still there: You can look behind these layers. The painting shows a surprising depth and transparency which can not be represented on screen.
