I don't think the coloring suits this. Straight B&W with no tone would help. The guy on the left is kind of too fuzzy on the right side

This reminds me of the work of painter Mark Tansey.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Mike.
I didn't know Mark Tansey and his work until you mentioned, so I had to look at his work on-line.
Very original work that sometimes does have the appearance of a printed photograph from that little I saw.
I am thinking that is probably the chromatic feel of my composite that reminds you of him?

Take care.

More than that, but the monochrome cool tint certainly helped. It is the nature of the composite and the stacking of (forlorn) people against abstracted but familiar backdrops, the light coming in from the side...

Got you. I can see that sad mood you are referring to in his work. Definitely some original paintings, especially the ones you posted, and the few I have seen on line.
Thanks for introducing this artist to me. I am going to do some more research about him and his (chromatic) work.
I saw a collection of his work in person a long while ago when I was in grad school. An ex girlfriend of mine has the catalog from it…
Part of the work that resonates with me are the subtle ways he works in art history, philosophy and language references. (Ok, sometimes not so subtle…!) Your image inspired a nice trip down memory lane.

I don't believe I have enjoyed reading about a composite and what comes after more than what I've read here. I have learned and appreciate both your work, Socrate and Mark Tansey's.
Socrate, your image sparked an emotional response that caused me to linger.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful work and information.
Thanks to you, too, Mike.
