About the Item

Classical Portraiture takes on a very casual feel in Peter Lupkin's painting entitled "Hamburger Hat". The composition is in the formal portraiture style with the subject gazing out to the viewer. That soft gaze, coupled with the relaxed clothing, invites us to come closer. Here we see an electrical outlet in the background which is in complete contradiction to the more formal and stiff portraiture style from which this painting is taken . The painting is framed in a simple black wooden frame. Peter Lupkin Hamburger Hat oil on canvas 20h x 16w in 50.80h x 40.64w cm PLU042 The artwork I create is a visual statement of my moral philosophy. The language I use to convey this philosophy in my pieces is one of traditional symbolism, this being indoctrinated into my personality through an apprenticeship into a traditional stained glass studio at the age of 14 and continuing to the present day. I seek to create scenes and narratives that are at the same time realistic and fantastical. I often use pre-existing stories when I am developing an image. I will then take these narratives and expose a less studied side of them, or try to bring them into a contemporary context. Ultimately my goal is to use modern imagery in conjunction with traditional techniques and connect them with contemporary society, showing both the narrative’s and the method’s continued relevance.
