Artist: Elizabeth Peyton
Date: 2004
Museum: Parrish Art Museum (Water Mill, United States)
Technique: Oil On Board
With succulent oil colors and luxurious brushstrokes, Elizabeth Peyton paints people she knows, wishes she knew, admires from afar. Although Peyton portrays some of her friends, fellow artists, rock musicians, poets, British royals, and historical figures sitting on chairs, drinking from glasses and coffee cups, or asleep on beds, her name almost always evokes faces and close-ups of heads. Born in 1965, she studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She first worked from photographs and reproductions, the sort that hung on the walls of her childhood bedroom in Danbury, Connecticut. Her debut solo show was with the Manhattan gallery Gavin Brown
