Metaphorical Portraits by Michael Mapes Deconstruct Art History as Collaged Specimens

Anonymous female specimen by Michael Mapes

Artist Michael Mapes uses an eclectic mix of materials—cosmetic samples, fingernail clippings, glass vials, fake eyelashes, nail polish, handwriting samples, feathers, pantyhose, hair strands, pill capsules—to create images

By using scientific terminology—materials are “biographical DNA,” sources are “pharmaceutical,” artworks named with “specimen”—Mapes characterizes his works as structured investigations of visual culture. He once described himself as having “the spirit of a painter—in a lab coat,” and it is precisely with this perspective that Mapes builds a complex body of works.

Metaphorical Portraits Hudson Valley-based artist Michael Mapes references prominent portraits from the past to create deconstructed compositions. 

"Human Specimens" by Michael Mapes.

uh, oh! looks like you've been caught in one of mapplethorpe's notorious traps! you set off a trick wire, which causes a chain of events that ends with a bowling ball coming straight for your head! // coming to piss off mikey from mape's dbd verse <3

It seems the survivors have been getting trickier and more daring. He is sure Laurie has something to do with it--- influencing the others survivors and teaching them ways to fight back. Knowing her, she likely told them to make sure to give the Boogeyman an especially hard time. If that's the case, they have been listening. This is something new entirely-- Michael is not a fast killer, so when the bowling ball drops from the ceiling and flies towards his face, it hits him right in the nose. It's a pain that shoots throughout his entire body instantly, makes him groan beneath his mask. He immediately tastes blood on his tongue and knows his nose has been broken by the impact. Red drips down from the bottom of his mask and onto his neck and he briefly stumbles, his head spinning from the blow. The grip on his knife doesn't loosen at all though. Whoever did this better pray Michael doesn't find them...
