In this piece titled Mai (Afterlife) after Sir Joshua Reynolds' Portrait of Mai (Omai), 1776, Peyton captures the titular subject in a striking fuchsia tone using loose brushstrokes of oil paint. Elizabeth Peyton is an American artist celebrated for her intimate, expressive portraits that capture the essence of her subjects, often friends, cultural icons, and historical figures. Known for her delicate brushwork and vibrant colour palette, Peyton’s portraits combine realism with a sense of romantic idealism. Her small-scale paintings and drawings evoke a sense of personal connection, as she portrays her subjects with sensitivity and reverence. Peyton’s work has been influential in contemporary art, blending pop culture elements with traditional portraiture, and redefining the boundaries of portrait painting.
