Self Portrait is a 2004 by Jeremy Diggle, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a print of a self-portrait by Jeremy Diggle, made in 2004. The image is in red and white, with the artist's face and shoulders visible. The background is abstract, with lines and shapes that don't form a clear picture. The artist's face is drawn in a simple style, with a few lines for the eyes, nose, and mouth. The hair is messy and unkempt. The artist is wearing a shirt with a collar, and there's a bird drawn on the left side of the image. The overall effect is one of simplicity and directness. The image doesn't try to show off the artist's skills or create a dramatic mood. It's just a straightforward portrait of the artist as he sees himself. If you want to see more works like this, you might enjoy the collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
An etching from 2004 shows the artist’s face marked with a St. George’s cross in red, over which a 19th-century map of German Saxony is rendered in gold lacquer; the work is one of 24 prints included in the SOFA Print Project portfolio.
