About the Item

“Run to Me” portrays a solitary figure leaning against a railing against a vibrant blue background. Dressed in dark clothing with indistinct facial features, the figure appears lost in thought. Bold, contrasting colors and strong lines create depth and movement, while obscured details add mystery. Vilkin was inspired by a memory from 1981 of his husband’s youthful energy. Instead of focusing on facial features, Vilkin depicts his husband’s strength, clothing fit, and agility, inviting viewers to imagine his personality. The intricate railing symbolizes emotional and mental distance, prompting contemplation on solitude and connection. “Run to Me” resonates with themes of mystery, introspection, and human experience.

"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...
