Although portraiture has become the sole focus of Chaz Buscaglia’s work in recent years, his interest in this genre has little to do with the identity of his subjects. The expression of self through personal embellishment is the inspiration for Buscaglia’s paintings. “Style” is an elusive entity, its characteristics dependent upon the many contexts in which it is found. In Buscaglia’s work, his subjects’ style is expressed through ornamental features such as sequins, buttons, jewelry, and details of couture, and extends to surrounding objects like furniture and automobiles, whose character reflects back on the subject via proximity. Buscaglia’s manner of interpreting his subjects, itself exemplifies the act of stylization; he edits with restraint, emphasizing bold areas of flat color contained within deliberate contours. Through both representation and practice, Buscaglia’s work invites the viewer to notice what he finds beautiful, and provides a broader perspective on the human drive to play an active role in the creation of our own image.
