NEW WORK BY JONATHAN YEO @ MANIFOLD EDITIONS, by Ruggs on Sept 17, 2013 10:09:21 GMT 1, โIf you are after a truth from a portrait, you want it to do something a photo canโt. A painting has to have a sense of time passing in it. A photo captures a moment. A painting canโt compete with that.โ - Jonathan Yeo
Tying in with his recently launched exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, we are offering a selection of 7 prints by the portraitist Jonathan Yeo from his portfolio โSome Peopleโ. The selection includes 4 archival ink jet prints, all hand varnished or coloured in the artists studio, 2 etchings and 1 photograph. Each work is signed by the artist and numbered on the reverse, in an edition of 60.
Jonathan Yeo is probably best known for his unauthorised portrait of George W Bush in 2011, which was a collage of cuttings from pornographic magazines, that caused him to be arrested by the Israeli authorities. His LA exhibition Porn in the USA (2011) also featured images of famous personalities created with this method and generated worldwide notoriety.
Jonathan Yeo โPortraitsโ is at The National Portrait Gallery until 21st January 2014.

I have looked at the prints on my phone. My personal taste (even if I could afford one, which I can't) is that I am not keen on portraits of celebs. I prefer portraits of unknown people.
Is the last print actually a photo? Am looking on my phone, and it's difficult to tell.

NEW WORK BY JONATHAN YEO @ MANIFOLD EDITIONS, by Dice on Sept 17, 2013 11:17:06 GMT 1, Hmm I wonder if a hand coloured giclee is better value/finish than a straight screenprint? Don't like these really but maybe the price isn't too bad depending on the amount of hand finishing.
