Elizabeth Peyton | Eventyr | 2018 | Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is delighted to present its first exhibition of works by Elizabeth Peyton with her show Eventyr. The exhibition draws its title from the old Norse word for fairytale or adventure. Through a group of portraits and still life scenes the artist addresses themes that have recurred throughout her career – including those of selfhood, passing time, and the condensation of emotion into faces, figures, gestures and objects. At the same time, she erases the distinctions between painterly genres, arriving at an expanded mode of portraiture that oscillates between the personal and the operatic | YouTube

Elizabeth Peyton | Faces Contain Their Time | Louisiana Channel | „I really like how people contain their time, in their faces.“ Meet the American artist Elizabeth Peyton in this interview about her interest in the power of the individual in the middle of history, and her fascination with love, creativity and the face. New York and Berlin based painter Elizabeth Joy Peyton (b.1965) is an American artist best known for her stylized and idealized portraits of her close friends and boyfriends, pop celebrities and European monarchy. In this interview Peyton talks about how personality affects the features of a face. How one person can change the world, and how people are part of history, and „make their own time“. People constantly change, which is why it’s interesting to capture them in a specific moment, she says. „I get excited by people who makes things“ Peyton explains. Artists are heroic, because they are vulnerable and risk a lot. Peyton’s paintings are about the people she is inspired by and admires, and hopefully her paintings will inspire others to also aspire to greatness, she adds. The focus of Elizabeth Peyton’s work is the small-scale portrait. Her work is most often executed in oil paint, with glazes that are sometimes encouraged to drip, but she also does watercolor, drawings and etchings. Peyton has exhibited around the world and her work has been included at the 1995 Venice Biennale, MoMA PS1 in 2000, and the 2004 Whitney Biennial | Interview by Marc Christoph Wagner, at Edition Copenhagen, 2013 | Camera Matthias Nyholm | Edited by Kamilla Bruus | Produced by Marc Christoph Wagner | Copyright Louisiana Channel | Louisiana Museum of Modern Art | https://www.louisiana.dk/en | Supported by Nordea-fonden | YouTube
Clarice Smith Distinguished Lecture with Artist Elizabeth Peyton | SAAM |
Smithonian American Art Museum | Elizabeth Peyton uses rich, gem-like colors and masterful graphic precision to create visually arresting portraits of fellow artists, friends, and cultural icons. She is widely recognized for bringing new dimensions to figurative painting in the 1990s and is among the most celebrated painters of her generation. Her works reflect intense emotional fascination with her subjects, while contemplating the modern nature of fame and celebrity. In 2011, she was featured in solo exhibitions at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis; the Opelvillen Foundation in Rüsselsheim, Germany; Gallery Met in New York City; and the Gagosian Gallery in Paris. She has shown extensively in exhibitions worldwide, and her works are included in major public collections such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and MoMA in New York City; Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris; SFMOMA in San Francisco; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Peyton was born in Danbury, CT and lives and works in New York City | YouTube

DEFINITION | BESCHREIBUNG | MERKMALE
Elizabeth Peyton malt ihre spürbar intimen Porträts häufig nach Vorlagen aus Magazinen und entwickelt daraus ephebenhaft und androgyn anmutende Gestalten mit hellen Augen und scharlachroten Lippen.
Es entstehen cool wirkende Menschenbilder voller innerer Schönheit, die eine sensible Zerbrechlichkeit in sich tragen und auch immer den Zeitenfluss spüren lassen
STICHWORTE
Liebe zum Zerbrechlichen und Schillernden | zarte, vergänglich anmutende Striche drücken Zerbrechlichkeit aus | Idole | Re-Individualisierung des Ich’s | Innerlichkeit | Rätselhaftigkeit | Zerbrechlichkeit von Charisma und Extravaganz
ZITATE
Ich male Menschen, die Dinge schaffen, denn je mehr sie erschaffen, desto verletzlicher werden sie | Eilizabeth Peyton
