Krisjan Klenow, Cal Arts alumni, began using her skills as an artist and photographer in the 80's
to create with costume, hair design and theatrical make-up, fantasy images based on mythical legends.
Later she revisited many other subjects including Film Noir, Vintage Pin-up and Victorian Portrait Photography while making reference to Modern Pop Culture.
Her current work gives homage to the printing process it self:Low Tech/High Tech. The "Alternative Portrait" embodies a humorous treatment of an opinion and or a dramatic visual tale. It is the translation of film into a digital image that imitates the litho and silkscreen printing processes used to produce graphic novels and theater posters.
