Acrylic paint on lasercut plywood

These lasercut portraits were sold as a set. I designed and made the Kendrick Lamar painting first, which was then purchased by a buyer who commissioned the Bill Evans painting to accompany it.

Both paintings were designed in Adobe Illustrator. The Bill Evans portrait was designed in close consultation with the client.

In both images multiple layers are visible at once, however they were lasercut individually.
