Five large-scale portraits by Storm Tharp are at first glance a nifty exercise in watercolor painting. A closer look reveals a more layered process: he contours the paper with water before sketching out enigmatic portraits, gilded them with geometric sequences of gold leaf and details in drawn pencil. The black and white Rorschach blots around his faces are a little menacing and a little ambiguous when paired with light, crisply rendered tones in costume and accessories.
