Naoto Hattori is a New York based artist with an fascinating take on portraiture. After observing much of his artwork it is apparent that he while the portraits he paints are portraits, they are of concepts and ideas as opposed to people.
This communication through art is touching the essence of what, to me, is the goal of visual art.
Also the movement through portraiture away from the communication of a facet of a person to ideas and concepts is the direction I believe art should take. The phenomenon of people to assign personality to objects has been translated using artistic method to communicate concepts in a personal way.
