Labyrinthine projection

Labyrinthine projection

A Labyrinthine Projection is a single, hand-drawn, continuous, uninterrupted, non-intersecting line describing an image that, when viewed from a distance, reveals a near photo-real picture. The term was coined by contemporary American artist, "Mo" [AKA J. Eric Morales] , in 2000. The term first appeared in print on October 12, 2004 in a Portland Tribune article.

In October of 2004, the Portland, Oregon art gallery, "Genuine Imitation," hosted an exhibition of Mo's labyrinth works called, "Labyrinthine Projections." The show featured twelve works of mixed media including ink on paper, ink on canvas, laser-etched leather, and a light-box featuring a portrait of Michael Jordan.

Labyrinthine Projections have enjoyed a commercial success, particularly in the urban apparel market. Athletic wear and fashion giant, Nike, has commissioned labyrinth portraits of several of their endorsed athletes, most notably, Michael Jordan and P-Rod [AKA Paul Rodriguez] but also their pro skaters Richard Moulder, Todd Jordan, Reese Forbes, Gino Iannucci and Danny Supa. Political portraits in this style represent George W. Bush, Barrack Obama, John McCain, and Ralph Nader. MotoGP champions Valentino Rossi, Colin Edwards, Aaron Yates, Steve Rapp, Nicky Haden, and Geoff May have been commissioned.
