Portrait or caricature?
I'm still asking myself that question. I've been to John Chen Gallery and I am truly amazed at how quick the artist is in capturing the beauty of a person. The artist is very creative and I've seen the display portraits and some are marvellous.
I had a friendly chat with the artist inside the store and found that it takes anywhere between 3-10 minutes for a caricature and more for a portrait and you can choose between colour and black and white.
Three times now, I've walked past the store, pausing, wondering if I should get it done today and then walked on... So why is it I have walked away without getting a portrait of me? I'm not sure.. It could be, because I always assume I will find a local artist in some market nearby, who will draw a caricature for half the price...
Hoping to read other reviews to nudge me in the right direction.. read more
