Where le Brocquy’s head studies are concerned with “an archaeology of the spirit”, you could say that Copperwhite’s heads, just as specific and characterful, and beautifully painted, are at home in an era of social media, digital technology and image overload. Each head painting embodies an individual as a repository of memories, dreams and interconnections, dynamically poised between past and future. €1,000-€1,500 ($1,123-$1,685) (£847-£1,271)
