David Sayer has been a practicing artist for over thirty years. Born in Sydney, he trained at the UNSW College of Fine Arts as a painter and is represented in public and private collections both in Australia and in Europe. Through the textural layering of paint, David explores the play of light and colour in the urban environment. He explores the busy inner-city environment, areas often overlooked as transient and creates focal points for memory or nostalgia. His images find creative form in capturing a disappearing landscape in a modern developing world. David has had numerous solo and group exhibitions and has twice been included in the Salon Des Refuses, the alternative Archibald and Wynne Prize Exhibition. He has been a finalist in national exhibitions in Townsville, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth including the Mosman and Australian National Maritime Art Prize. My work contains the urban spaces and ground that is often seen as something that is unimportant. Streets, old buildings, railways sidings and areas that are travelled through by busy people rather than dwelt upon. Areas that have a history that reveal a time passed. Through painting I explore this space and the interplay of light and colour. The love of texture in both mediums characterizes the work and provides a vehicle for this direction.

Marilyn "A Wise Girl" Large Original Marilyn Monroe Textural Oil Painting
By Christina Major
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Christina Major’s "Marilyn - A Wise Girl" is a striking contemporary portrait that seamlessly blends realism with expressive text overlays, creating an artwork that is both visually arresting and conceptually rich. Measuring 77.5 x 64 inches, this mixed-media painting captures the timeless allure of Marilyn Monroe, her piercing gaze and iconic red lips emerging through layers of hand-painted script. The interplay of cool and warm tones enhances the depth of her expression, while the carefully integrated text—featuring Monroe’s own words—adds a narrative dimension that invites viewers to reflect on the contrast between fame and vulnerability. A captivating fusion of portraiture and typographic abstraction, this piece is a statement work for collectors drawn to figurative art, pop culture icons, and contemporary oil paintings.
Christina Major is a portrait painter interested in the ways the identity of both artist and subject can coexist in a painting. Major's current creative research focuses on the traditional form of the portrait as a powerful form of representing an individual and how meaning can be expanded through scale, brushstroke, color, texture, composition, and the many variables that portraiture deals with.
This one-of-a-kind oil painting is 77.5 inches tall and 64.5 inches wide. It is signed by Major on the back. The artwork is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping are also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
