Every cover girl has a name — hers got lost somewhere between the newsstand and the paint.
Vague Unknown is Jess's homage to a Vogue cover that lives in her memory but not in any archive: a face split between pop pink and real skin, blue eyes staring straight through the stars. She is every model and no model — the mystery is the portrait.
Part of the Vague series — Jessica Gorlicky's mixed-media love letters to the great fashion covers, each one framed and embellished by hand.
Vague Unknown, 32″ × 39″. Mixed media on canvas, hand-painted and embellished by Jessica Gorlicky. One of a kind and ready to hang.
