  This original Serialist Masterpiece by Brent Doty reimagines Salvador Dalí’s iconic Mae West through a contemporary mixed media lens, transforming surrealism into a bold, modern meta-portrait. Constructed through layered imagery, visual repetition, and serialist fragmentation, the painting reconstructs Mae West as both subject and structure—where glamour, illusion, and identity converge.
 
  Drawing on Dalí’s fascination with perception and theatricality, the work explores how image, celebrity, and fantasy are manufactured and consumed.  Taking this Surreal double image portrait to a meta almost microscopic level. The serialist medium both invites and demands sustained viewing, revealing the subtle shifts in form and meaning that challenge the boundary between portraiture and environment, humor and progressive artistic provocation.
 
  Created as part of Brent’s Artist’s Masterpiece Series, this truly one-of-a-kind artwork is designed to command attention in refined residential interiors, luxury condominiums, and high-impact corporate environments. Ideal for female collectors, interior designers, and discerning buyers seeking a culturally literate statement piece, this portrait offers strong visual authority, conceptual depth, and lasting collectability—an investment-grade work that brings surrealist legacy into a contemporary 21st Century context.
