Animal Kingdom #5, Original Painting
By Diana Rosa
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Part of a series of biomorphic portraits mixing elements of realism and fantasy, and surrealism and folk art. Artist Diana Rosa says she combined 50 percent man with 50 percent crocodile, playing up the patterns and shapes reminiscent of nature and wild organisms.
About the Artist
Lighthearted and jovial by nature, Diana’s contemporary paintings depict people in varied scenarios of indulgence. Whether it is a quiet moment alone in the woods, or a tantalizing rendezvous in the tub, Diana creates private moments in carefree or comedic ways. Her narratives often include humorous sexual tension between unlikely bedfellows, enough to elicit a chuckle from even the most stoic art lover. “I create a visual dialogue where everything is possible and magic is the queen,” says Diana. “[There is] a subtle injection of ambiguity that blurs the gap between the ordinary and the fantastic. The background of this sub-world appears to be transformed into an innocent children’s fantasy that almost looks like a dream.”

Sunfish King Louis the Fishteenth (framed)

Sunfish King Louis the Fishteenth
Comes framed
The Sunfish King, Louis the Fishteenth, is naturally modeled on King Louis the XIV, the "Sun King." Draped in the Coronation mantle in French blue velvet embroidered with fleur-de-lis and lined with ermine, the Sunfish King emulates his noble counterpart's jaunty posture. He holds the scepter upside down, leaning on it as if a dandy with a cane.
Louis the Fishteenth wears a whimsical version of the necklace of the Order of the Holy Spirit. Our Sunfish King loves reigning in the deep blue sea. Thus the original necklace's dove in pavé diamonds has been replaced by the huge blue diamond...

Dom João Hipocampo I
By Georgia Griffin
Located in East Hampton, NY
Surrealist Whimsical Sea Horse
About
Close attention to detail. Surreal Dark Humor Whimsical Surrealism
COMES ON STRETCHED CANVAS, FRAMED. About the Series: “Sovereigns of the Sea.” The series grew out of an amusing little sketch she did of a fish in a gown. Very soon she was researching official portraits of Queen Elizabeth I, studying the gowns and crown jewels of her era. Reimagining her royal visage through a chimerical lens, Queen Elizafish was born. Gradually that lens showed Georgia an array of colorful characters in a world where semi-anthropomorphic sea creatures are the sovereigns of days gone by. Her subjects are rendered in what Georgia calls whimsical surrealism, aquatic nobles surveying their dominions on dry land but never far from their seas. She researches royals’ portraits and histories, and renders their alter egos seriously, while sharing a wink with the viewer.
King Henry VIII Crabbe soon followed the Queen, and then came King Richard Eel, Georgia's portrait of Richard III. Remarkable for his sharply curving back and sad expression, Richard Eel’s crown rests on a cushion at his side. After a hiatus for cross-country relocation, she produced the brilliantly colored Emperor JeLee Kangxi, a jellyfish interpretation of the 4th Emperor of the Qing dynasty upon his carved throne.
That brings us to Dom João Hipocampo I, Johnny Rei to his friends. Fresh off Georgia's easel, this portrait shows Dom João I as a vibrant golden seahorse cloaked in a cape the rich blue of Portugal's famous azulejos (tiles). The 10th and longest reigning King of Portugal (1385-1433), Dom João I established the Aviz dynasty and vanquished Castile, thus guaranteeing Portugal's continued independence.

Coming across the famous copies of Hans Holbein the Younger’s lost portrait of Henry VIII, Georgia knew at once her next subject; surely King Henry VIII Crabbe was crying out to be painted! From there the wan figure of the oft misunderstood King Richard III caught her eye. Richard, with his back fiercely curved by scoliosis, who lost his crown when ignominiously buried during battle only to be rediscovered centuries later under a car park in Leicester, became King Richard Eel. Remarkable for his sharply curving back and sad expression, Richard Eel’s crown rests on a cushion at his side.
