70’s Nerd Portraits
March 28, 2011
COMPUTER SCIENCE is the title of artist Jonathan Viner‘s series of classical-style portrait paintings of computer science majors from the 1970’s.
He was inspired by childhood memories of the people at his father’s workplace, the robotics lab at the NY Institute of Technology. There is an intentional contrast between the contemporary subject matter and the classical painting methods used to create the portraits.
