About the Item

The Prodigal Daughter by British artist & author Charlie Mackesy, is rarely seen on the market. This particular piece was painted onto canvas in 2007 and is in excellent condition. It bears Mackesy's signature on the front, bottom right in oil, and has also been signed on the verso & dated. Mackesy references the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, which speaks to the universal human experience of sin, repentance, and the need for God's grace, offering hope and encouragement to all who feel lost or estranged from God. He adapts it with a richly coloured & loving embrace of a father figure & daughter, and paints the words: 'This is the story of the prodigal daughter - It should really be called the Loving Father - who waited every day for his girl to come home. She did not expect him to wait - but when he saw her from afar he ran to her & hugged & kissed her x Luke 15 x x x'

"HRH Princess Julia" - Hyperrealist Portrait Painting by Georgina Clapham
Located in West Hollywood, CA
This small vertical 31 inch high by 23.5 inch wide original oil painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. The detail in this artwork is astounding. From the gaze and makeup details around the eyes to the the ornate jewelry, Princess Julia is absolutely sublime. The sides of the artwork are not painted and it does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back of the artwork British painter Georgina Clapham conspicuously engages with story telling and theatricality, drawing together Renaissance portraiture, Greek Mythology, folklore, mysticism, animals, nature, the artificial, high fashion, subculture, gender, identity and sexuality, in her meticulous life size figurative paintings. Through the traditional media of oil paint on linen and intaglio printmaking, she creates her own contemporary mythologies. Staging her paintings using people in her everyday life, she infuses these timeless narratives with the intimacy and tangibility of her friendships and personal relationships drawing out their psychology and sexuality; as such, the works become as much a depiction of her own imagined narrative as of the individuals’ personality. She has previously attended City and Guilds of London Art School, 2013 and The Glasgow School of Art, 2014-16, where her work was purchased into the archive. In 2015 she was awarded The Richard Ford...
