Jonathan Yeo has the skills to make decent portraits and yet has never done so, and at this point is almost has to be on purpose. It is pretentious, in the actual definition of that word. In that it has pretenses of depth it does not actually have. Why is this shit red on red on red? What does it symbolise? Im sure Jonathan Yeo could make some shit up, but ultimately the answer is it means nothing. And i admire his grift.

Like he paints the face pretty realistically and then he just does a gimmick, and he gets paid millions. "Yea this time I only painted the face the rest is just the sketch."
"Yea this time everything except the face is red."
"Yea this time I only painted half the face."
"Yeah this time I mostly used blue"
