In Earnest, Rooo Lou tests the limits of recognition.

Lou’s distinct visual language leaves our imagination to fill in the gaps of his portraits. Earnest is an ode to a friend of the artist, who’s defining characteristic is sincerity. Strong black linework is offset by a vibrant palette, a result of his process blending digital and traditional painting techniques. A pair of dots punctuate an otherwise featureless face. When viewed closer, subtle textural complexity is revealed, imbuing a sense of familiarity.

‘Most of my paintings are facetious. This time, I painted this figure while thinking of an important friend of mine whom I respect very much.'
