Anaïs Zhang - Oil Paintings

Elizabeth Peyton (born 1965) is an American painter who rose to popularity in the mid 1990s. Finds the material for her works both in the widespread ”public” images she borrows from books, magazines, record covers, or music video stills and in the ”private” photographs she takes herself. Sid Vicious, Prince Harry, Jarvis Cocker, and Leonardo Di Caprio: historical figures and living persons appear in Peyton’s work as fragile, androgynous beings with light eyes and scarlet-red lips.
EP: I’m interested in people who are androgynous. I like it when people aren’t stereotypically female or male, that their personalities are outside that and not defined or contained by being male or female. I like men who objectify themselves, which is a female trait.
