Art Appreciation
I came across a painting titled The Painter with Patti Avery, which features a scraggly painter holding a paint brush on one hand and supporting a woman's chest with the other. He studies the viewer as if a reflection. The painting is both sensual and academic.
The painter is Robert Oscar Lenkiewicz. He was born in London on December 31, 1941 and is considered one of South West England's most celebrated artist known for his realistic figurative paintings.
Check out the memoir blog by one of his daughters, Alice Rhenna Lenkiewicz, HERE, watch this short documentary of the artist HERE, and view more of his amazing work HERE.
