Time Out says Rate it

American painter Elizabeth Peyton captures historical and pop-culture moments through her measured and characterful portraits of artists, celebrities and acquaintances. Intimate in scale and tightly cropped, Peyton adapts her charged but seemingly private encounters with Prince Harry or Kurt Cobain from news photos, confusing their relationship to pictures of her artist friends, painted at ease and direct from life. Her first major retrospective, 'Live Forever', includes portraits of British artists David Hockney and Jake Chapman as well as Angus Fairhurst, who committed suicide last year. (OW)
