Marc Quinn; Irises Art Work (Patreon)

In 2009, Quinn began creating large-scale, hyperrealistic paintings of the human eye, capturing how the rainbows of the irises transform suddenly into the black void of the pupil. To create these hypnotic images, Quinn takes close-up photographs of his models’ eyes using a macro-lens—fashion legends Stella McCartney, Sarah Burton, and Karl Lagerfeld all posed for the series—and then paints these “mirrors of the souls” on circular canvases using an airbrush technique.
