Marc Burckhardt

             Twins

Marc Burckhardt is an American painter whose work can be seen in galleries and books world wide.  I came across his work in American Illustration 22, an issue that loosely focused on twins.  His style really caught my eye.  His strange, contemporary illustrations mixed with the old, cracked oil painting texture go well together to create an interesting juxtaposition that just work.  Both his twin portraits examine conjoined twins, a subject I researched in a previous project.
