About the Item

Artwork is in excellent condition. All reasonable offers will be considered. Transfixing the viewer with a piercing gaze, Martin exemplifies the Elizabeth Peyton’s mastery of portraiture. Executed in 1998, this intimate and vivacious work holds immense visual power within its flurry of bold, fluid brushwork. Ethereally elusive, Peyton captures the dynamism and personality of London gallerist and friend Martin McGeown whom she would go on to paint numerous times. For three decades, Peyton’s practice has been dedicated to stunning portraits of public personalities, historical figures, fictional characters, and fellow artists and friends. Her process of painting bridges the empathic with the analytical. Carving out in brilliant crimsons, shocking purples, and deep mahogany, Peyton enhances the inner vulnerability of her sitter as he looks up to meet our gaze. Since the 1990s, Peyton’s portraiture has championed the return of figurative painting back to the cutting edge of the art world. Traditionally supported by the rigid social barriers of the elite who’s class, wealth, fame and social standing enabled them to commission images of themselves, Peyton’s approach the genre notably departs from this art-historical precedent. As Peyton explains, “There is no separation for me between people I know through their music of photos and someone I know personally. The way I perceive them is very similar, in that there’s no difference between certain qualities that I find inspiring in them.” (Elizabeth Peyton quoted in: New York, Whitney Museum of American Art, Whitney Biennial 2004, March – May 2004, p. 224).
