Malcolm T. Liepke. Largely
self-taught, Malcolm T. Liepke paints in a style that synthesizes the work of
other artists—John Singer Sargent, Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec,
Diego Velázquez, and James McNeill Whistler, among others—to create portraits
that are both visually familiar and wholly unique. Liepke favors portraits of
ordinary women in glamorous contexts, producing voyeuristic nudes that are
sexualized through a realistic lens rather than a pornographic one. Loose
brushstrokes and dusty gray-green skin tones imbue his subjects with a fleshy
sensuality, while simple gestures and expressions convey emotions. Liepke
paints from photographs and works in a wet-on-wet technique, borrowed from
artists like Sargent and Velázquez, in which layers of oil paint are built up
without drying in between. American, b. 1953, Minneapolis, Minnesota, based in
New York, New York. More on Malcolm T. Liepke
