Brushing up...

I went to see Elizabeth Peyton "Live" at the Whitechapel gallery yesterday.

I love her painted works of everyday and famous people...they're caricatures that somehow seem real and their significance make you realise how much of a product  of pop culture we are.



The way she uses colour is incredible. All her subjects are painted in a different light, and there doesn't seem to be much bias about anything she's saying about any of the people...some of whom are controversial figures. She somehow remains true to them and true to herself.
