Tonight at 6 p.m. oil-painter Jenny Dubnau will be speaking at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Dubnau specializes in an ultra-realistic style of painting that focuses on portraits of the human head. Dubnau begins with photographs of her subjects then recreates the photos using oil-paints. The photo sessions are notorious for being grueling ordeals; Dubnau subjects her models to bright lights and water drenchings. The artist strives to show people as vulnerable beings and to paint them with a brutal, searching honesty.
