Artist Becomes Infinite Through His Mind-Bending Series of Painted Self Portraits
The self-portrait has long been a fixture in painting. Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Frida Kahlo
are just a few creatives known for their famous artworks that place
themselves at the center. Continuing this tradition is Chicago-based
artist Seamus Wray. He has recently delighted the internet with his series of self-portrait paintings that have a twist straight out of the movie Inception.
What started as a single self-portrait has since morphed into something
much more complex. Over the course of five artworks, he has painted
himself painting himself…and painting himself again and again.
Wray’s latest painting features five versions of himself (all wearing the same shirt) and one white cat. As he poses in person with the artwork, he is holding a black cat and a paintbrush. It’ll undoubtedly be the subject of his next self-portrait—although he’s not sure when. “I do have plans to continue them— in one way or another. Self-portraits have always been a theme in my art over the years, and no doubt will continue to be so.”
With each painting, they grow more complex…
Wray plans to continue his Inception portraits.

WOW! Great portrait of the Ukrainian President. You have done it again. Fantastic! :-)
We should tell children this Note to Self, too. It's helpful for all of us.
Art is also very important for us. It's therapy as you use to say, it soothes and comforts us, and it brightens the soul and mind. I liked your article about Seamus Wray. I didn't know him and his most creative art.
Happy Sunday, Jacki
I'm already curious what I'll find on tomorrow's blog. Already looking forward to it.
Thanks, John. I do admire him so much.
Thank you, dear Elenor, you are always so kind and supportive and it really means a lot to me. Happy Sunday!
