Artists in conversation

Cecily Brown
British · b. 1969

Brown's oil paintings similarly engage with art historical traditions and classical imagery while infusing them with a contemporary and often subversive sensibility, using rich dark tones and figurative drama that closely echoes the mood of this work.

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
British · b. 1977

Yiadom-Boakye's figurative oil paintings share the dark atmospheric tones and psychological intensity found here, and she similarly reexamines canonical portrait traditions through a distinctly contemporary British lens.

Jenny Saville
British · b. 1970

Saville's large scale figurative oil paintings engage directly with classical painting traditions while challenging conventional artistic narratives, using dramatic tonal contrasts and bold painterly technique comparable to this reimagining of hunting imagery.
