"You'll Never Know" Mixed Media Figurative Collage Composition on Panel Board
"You'll Never Know" Mixed Media Figurative Collage Composition on Panel Board

"You'll Never Know" Mixed Media Figurative Collage Composition on Panel Board

By Jon Davenport

Located in New York, NY

This piece depicts a colorful collage composition portrait of Marilyn Monroe, as Jon Davenport explores the process of deconstructing iconic imagery from the past and present. Davenport start’s out with photos of his paint-stained studio floor and collages in articles/advertising from an array of vintage magazines collected over the years; plus any other interesting stuff captured on his travels. He then transfers the images to a panel board, layering them on with gel medium, together with strokes, splashes, drips, and splats of paint. Once it's dry, another layer of gel medium is poured on to give it a melting effect. After it drys off again, another layer of paint is added to embellish a few areas and to accentuate or fade out certain aspects. And then, he finally adds a coat of polyurethane for protection and making the colors pop. This unique work is executed on a wood panel board and comes ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso, signed by the artist lower right. Art measures 36 x 36 in From biology student to owning and running a creative agency in London to a career as a fine artist, life has taken Jon Davenport on a rewarding and unconventional journey. Despite his scientific beginnings, he’s always had a strong artistic streak weaving its way through his different career paths. Growing up in Ipswich, UK, Jon was always an avid drawer, and could often be found with a pencil and paper in hand. With the arrival of his first computer, he embraced the new frontier of digital art and had work published in one of those early computer magazines. His creative urges took a backseat to get a biology degree at Brunel University in London. It was afterward, in his first job working at the Archant newspaper group in Ipswich, that he quickly progressed from plate maker to becoming an integral member of the art studio. It was during this time that he taught himself photoshop, desktop publishing, and graphic & web design. After a few years, he set up a design agency, and eventually went full time and moved to London. This proved to be a successful move, working for a number of clients such as Nike and Virgin, and gaining praise from the likes of Richard Branson and Tony Blair. It wasn’t until Jon moved to the USA to marry his wife, Atlanta artist Christy Kinard...

ORIGINAL 1860 Famous American Artist Henry Peters Gray (1819-1877) oil on canvas

By Henry Peters Gray

Located in Palm Coast, FL

This exceptional antique oil painting on canvas by renowned American artist Henry Peters Gray (1819–1877) depicts W. P. Wright, Esq. in a dignified three-quarter-length portrait painted in 1860. The sitter wears a dark formal coat over a crisp white shirt and brown waistcoat, while his right arm rests against a rich red upholstered surface. His full beard, composed expression, and direct yet contemplative gaze reflect the confidence and refinement associated with mid-19th-century American portraiture. Gray carefully models the sitter’s face through subtle transitions of light and shadow, contrasting the warm flesh tones and reddish-brown beard against the restrained dark background. Finely observed details—including the folded handkerchief, waistcoat chain, and ring—add individuality without distracting from the portrait’s formal presence. An important handwritten inscription on the reverse identifies both the sitter and artist and records the circumstances of the painting: “For W. P. Wright Esq. Portrait from Henry Peters Gray. Painted at Pittsfield, Mass., August 1860.” This period inscription provides valuable direct provenance and securely connects the portrait with Gray’s documented career. The painting is presented in a traditional period gilt frame with a beaded inner border and is ready to hang. 🖼️ Measurements: Painting: 25" W × 30" H Framed: 30" W × 35" H ✍️ Signature: The portrait is identified by a handwritten inscription on the reverse naming Henry Peters Gray, the sitter W. P. Wright, Esq., the location Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and the date August 1860. ✅ Condition: Good antique condition with minor age-appropriate surface wear. The period gilt frame shows light wear consistent with age. Please review all photographs carefully for a complete assessment. 📦 Shipping: Professionally packed and shipped the same business day from Florida.

Figurative Paintings for Sale

Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.

While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.

Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.

Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.

Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
