Tribute to Modigliani

Every month or so I always make an attempt to appropriate an artists work that I admire. I’ll copy a study or a section of a piece or the entire piece itself in the hopes of absorbing some of their technique and process.

Pete Conroy is an English artist based in Echuca. He focuses his attention on portraits and distortion of the human face and figure. Using traditional techniques mixed with a modern style he paints humans with impossibly stretched facial features and limbs.
Where the shape and structure of his subjects are out of sync with reality he attempts to bring the characters back into the realistic realm with a mix of modern and traditional techniques of oil painting.
