CLOWNVILLE

BEHIND THE PAINTED FACE

Clownville is an ongoing portrait series by Eolo Perfido exploring humour, unease and the masks we wear. Drawing on silent cinema and imagined characters, the photographs move between the comic and the unsettling. Discover the Icons 57 Clownville Art Box and prints.
