About the Item

This vertical 31.5 inch high by 23.5 inch wide original oil painting on linen is wired and ready to hang. The hyperrealistic detail in the is artwork is astounding. A reimagined alternative view of the icon Cleopatra draws you in with her serpent. 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 Award Travel Scholarship to draw at the Prado Museum Madrid, which helped underpin her knowledge of Old Master paintings. More recently she was accepted onto an Intensive Drawing Course at The Royal Drawing School, London, 2017.
