A face rendered in loose, confident black brushstrokes emerges from a dense field of archival newspaper clippings and historical photographs, each fragment authentic rather than reproduced. Zayed places its subject at the center of the same materials that once recorded him, so that history and portrait share the same surface rather than sitting side by side. As one of the founding pieces in this collection of art gallery paintings, it holds particular weight within The Founders series.
Built from mixed media, collage, resin, and oil on canvas, the work uses authentic archival newspapers, meaning background details vary slightly between pieces while the central portrait remains fixed.
The canvas measures 28 x 28 inches, matching the scale of its companion works in the series.
Signed by the artist and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity, it is a one-of-a-kind piece, and those drawn to this approach can inquire about a commission portrait painting or an oil portrait commission of similar character.
Zayed holds leadership in the same material that once reported on it daily, giving history a physical presence rather than a distant one. This particular piece is currently sold out, though it remains part of MB Gallery's Founders collection.
