Based on the Myers-Briggs personality test, Jason Boyd Kinsella’s new portrait series, on show at Perrotin in Paris, examines the building blocks of human existence

Equally rooted in the 21st century is Kinsella’s creative process – there is method in this madness. For each portrait, the artist breaks down the personality traits of his protagonists into distinct geometric components based on the Myers-Briggs personality test; their shape, colour and size define their individuality.
