Benjamin Shine is an artist known for creating striking portraits from tulle, a lightweight translucent fabric more commonly associated with fashion. Instead of using paint or drawing, he folds, layers, and manipulates the fabric, using a hot iron to press it into place and gradually reveal the face. Different layers of tulle create the shadows, highlights, and details, turning a single flowing piece of fabric into a surprisingly lifelike portrait. His technique brings together textile art, sculpture, and what he describes as a form of “painting with fabric.” Artist: @benjaminshinestudio #art #textileart #portrait #tulle
