Portrait of Meg Ryan (2006)Oil painting by Richard Meyer
40 x 48 x 4.5cm (framed)
£225
Original artwork description
A portrait done from a photograph scrunched up by my good lady (I don't think maliciously) and then ironed out (so presumably not malicious!) of the lovely actress Meg Ryan. I was prompted to paint this after she was grossly misunderstood and insulted by a totally uncomprehending Parkinson on his TV chat show.
The crazed and creased photograph seemed poignantly apposite if you consider the wary vulnerability of a celebrity whose profession thrusts her into the limelight even when she isn't (if you see what I mean).
Materials used:
Spectrum oil paint, knives, sticks, paste medium.
Details:
- Oil painting on Panel / Board / MDF
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 40 x 48 x 4.5cm (framed)
- Framed and ready to hang
- Signed on the front
- Style: Expressive and gestural
- Subject: People and portraits

About
I guess I'm an old school painter, believing in the sanctity of the studio: it's a separate world to the outside where different rules apply. Here is a place... Read more
