In a moment that melds tradition with contemporary artistry, King Charles III revealed his inaugural painted portrait since ascending the throne over a year ago. The grand unveiling took place at Buckingham Palace, where the king himself drew back a ribbon to reveal the work—a bold, head-on depiction against a striking backdrop of red, pink, and fuchsia tones.

The portrait, crafted by the esteemed Jonathan Yeo, known for his evocative portrayals of figures such as David Attenborough, Idris Elba, and Malala Yousafzai, captures a powerful and intimate gaze from the monarch. The backdrop’s mottled hues add a dynamic and almost ethereal quality to the piece, enhancing the regal presence of the king, who stands adorned in the distinguished uniform of the Welsh Guards. A delicate butterfly, perched on his shoulder, introduces a whimsical yet poignant symbol of transformation and continuity.

The creative process for this painting commenced in June 2021, a time when Charles held the title of Prince of Wales. Yeo’s choice of colors and composition reflects both the historical weight and the evolving identity of the king, encapsulating a sense of immediacy and timelessness.

Social media buzzed with the announcement, with the royal family sharing video footage of the unveiling. The clip showed a moment of genuine surprise from the king as the draped fabric fell away, revealing the towering masterpiece. This portrayal is not just a visual document but a narrative piece, reflecting a monarch who bridges past and future, captured through Yeo’s masterful and insightful lens.

We lost a dear friend and artist today and the news is heartbreaking. 💔 Joshua Coffy was a beautiful soul who worked tirelessly to bring his talent to the world through his many paintings of animals in colorful scenes. He has been a staple in the San Francisco art community and there’s not a person he hasn’t touched with his kind smile and joyous laugh. We love you Joshua, thank you for bringing so much light into this world. ❤️🐦🦊🐸🐻❤️

Jonathan LeVine Projects and ArtPrize present "The Lost Mystics" by Kumkum Fernando from September 14 - October 1, 2023, at the ArtPrize Clubhouse in Grand Rapids, MI. This showcase includes Kumkum's "Post Colonial Rainbow Punks" series.

Kumkum’s "Lost Mystics" combine futuristic and tribal designs into unique sculptures, drawing from diverse global influences like Ethiopian masks, American board games, and Asian folktales. These characters depict a quest for meaning amidst chaos, embodying longing and unrequited desires.

Central to Kumkum's art is the blend of traditional and modern culture. His pieces, made from upcycled materials, have a rustic charm contrasting with his earlier refined works. The sculptures reflect both texture and polish, interweaving the futuristic with the tribal. Born in Sri Lanka, Kumkum's vast influences range from temple paintings to ancient folktales. His art has been showcased globally, with mentions in notable publications like HYPEBEAST and designboom.
