Excursion into Philosophy

The ‘Hopper Essence’ series by photographer Andrés Gallego are photographs based on the work of Edward Hopper (USA, 1882-1967), in which the views from the windows have been transferred by the artist himself with acrylic paint on canvas, as well as the scenography, reproduced on a true scale. On them his wife is depicted, exactly as Hopper depicted his Jo. It can be seen as a portrait of her or, as the painter did, as a portrait of each one of us, a place to hide.
