Elvis Presley colourful portrait 949
Elvis Presley colourful portrait 949 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas 60cm x 50cm x 1.5cm (23.5 inches x 19.5 inches x 0.5 inches)
A very colourful and decorative painting which was inspired by William Morris and the need to add move interest and movement to the background.
The figured is painted in large single bold strokes with vibrant colours more in the Fauves (French for the wild beasts), style. Emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.
The portrait of Elvis Presley is in strong contrast of shadows is represented not by skin tone but contracted with pure almost primary colours mixed on the canvas at speed which retained it's vibrant fresh look of colours. The overall effect is of Matisse motifs and figures.
The background cuts into and diffuses the edges of the figure's form, giving a lost and found edge, a trick John Singer Sergeant used a lot.
The background is scraped with impressionist motifs quickly scribbled while the paint is still wet, reviling the contrasting painted underground paint, which is Acrylic paint is good for. The overall impression is a much more punchy and lively work of art.
