Description
Peyton’s new work unveils a holy world of cultural luminaries “Here, Peyton turns her subjects into something akin to these mythical beings, bathing them in light and rendering them with a delicate touch” —Cultured Magazine Well known for her vibrant portraits of cultural and historical figures and friends that embrace the tradition and sensibility of 19th-century painting, Peyton captivates audiences with her distinctive blend of contemporary and classical aesthetics. In this new body of work, Angel, Peyton treats her subjects akin to celestial beings, illuminated by the intensity of her unique, humanistic approach. Through meticulous observation that closely resembles love, she captures the individuality of each subject. Together, these works become a painted world evoking the ecstatic force felt in cathedrals and on mountain tops. Published on the occasion of her exhibition at David Zwirner London in 2023, this publication includes a text by Lucas Zwirner in which he considers the emotional experience of sitting for a portrait by Peyton and sheds light on the artist’s literary and cultural influences. Also included are Peyton’s own photographs conveying her influences and experiences in the lead-up to the exhibition
