This is a rare unique original acrylic/mixed media painting on canvas in a naïve primitivism style depicting George Washington (1732-1799) - the Founding Father of the United States.
This painting, a stylized and imaginative reinterpretation of George Washington, combines vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes to create a contemporary and unconventional portrait. The figure is depicted with exaggerated features and bold, textured patterns that bring a sense of modernity and whimsy to the iconic image of America’s first president.
The face, painted in warm tones of orange, red, and pink, is detailed with swirling textures and sharp lines, giving it an almost sculptural quality. The eyes are large and wide, adding intensity and depth to the figure's expression, while the textured hair incorporates a mix of black and colorful highlights, reimagining Washington’s historically powdered wig in a dynamic, modern style.
The background is a bright, energetic mix of blues and yellows, with abstract elements like a golden chair back framing the figure. These elements give the painting a lively, almost surreal quality. The iconic lace cravat and 18th-century attire are rendered in intricate, swirling patterns, blending historical references with artistic freedom.
The ornate gold frame complements the painting's boldness, adding a sense of grandeur to this reimagined historical figure. The artist, Serg Graff, uses this playful yet evocative style to reinterpret George Washington in a way that merges tradition with contemporary art, inviting viewers to reflect on history through a fresh and vibrant lens
Present in an ornate gilt frame. Excellent condition. Framed measuring 25.5" x 21.5" & painting measures 20" x 16" . Signed in a lower-left corner, and on verso by Artist Serg Graff. Painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Artist.
