Ceravolo
Hidden Marilyn Monroe w/ Yellow Splash Minimalism portrait oil and acrylic 40x40

2013

About the Item

Ceravolo's Large scale paintings have received international acclaim for more four decades. His art came to popular attention when he was commissioned to create six large scale paintings for The Palladium Theatre in New York City. In addition to those, his paintings are in many influential corporate and private collections, including: ELTON JOHN, ROD STEWART, HUGH M. HEFNER, DAVID BRENNER, MONIQUE VAN VOOREN, WARNER BROS., RCA RECORDS AND SCHENLEY INDUSTRIES to name a few. This Minimalist inspired contemporary portrait painting titled "Hidden Marilyn Monroe with Yellow Splash" features an extremely subtle portrait of Marilyn Monroe created by painting the features of Marilyn Monroe in a glossy black paint over a matte black surface. This gives the portrait a very subtle look under a striped black and white design. The painting to most viewers will look like an geometric abstract canvas. The fun fact is that the very subtle features of Marilyn appear if you see the abstract painting in at the correct position. After painting the portrait features of Marilyn, Ceravolo then pours yellow paint drips over the canvas and paints shadows to give the yellow splash a floating look to it. The extremely subtle hidden portrait element makes this an intriguing abstract painting. I included a detail image where you can see the subtle gloss on matte black portrait of Marilyn. The canvas measures 40x40" and is signed on back by Ceravolo.
