Feeling portraiture at the moment, I never really had appreciated contemporary portraiture till I paid attention (rather than sub consciously Art blocked as I often do due to the nature of full time art school immersion). Peter Stichburys smooth use of paint and play's on over exaggerated/under exaggerated facial features is something special. They speak to me of the fine line between our perceived beauty and reality. Painting really is a true communication of life's subtlety when executed with such grace as Stichbury.
This work by Andrew Barns-Graham really makes me gaaahh gaa looo crazy. Plum lips, Cascading blonde curls and independence shining through her eyes.
