Pamela Wilson and the Absinthe Drinkers

Article about an artist who painted a series of absinthees.
It may or may not appeal to StLukes - I have no idea on how to properly evaluate figurative art.

Pamela Wilson and the Absinthe Drinkers

The green goddess has been present throughout art history, but the American painter created a universe for her, inviting the disenchanted into her bohemian fantasy.

Yes... I'm certainly aware of Pamela Wilson. I follow her on Instagram as an artist employing the human figure, costumes, burlesque... a number of themes that I am interested in as an artist.

I like her work... although its a little too dark and tonal for my own taste. I lean toward work that is more high-key and employs a more saturated color palette... but that's just me. Again, quite good IMO.

I rather like the darker tones because it's different than what we may normally wee with this kind of rendering. It's excellent work and I love all the facial expressions and poses.

wonderful.

the expressions as Artyczar said I think they really hit.
I was also struck by the hand in the first portrait.
the theme, all strong.

Not my usual fare but it is well done.

Must confess: I prefer the classic "Fin de siècle" paintings of the subject due to their rawness and tristesse and derangement of the drinkes.

- Degas

- Picasso

- Béraud

I like them both in different ways.

I like those paintings by Wilson. The style kinda reminds me of a local artist here in KC who mainly paints people in the burlesque community here. @stlukesguild you might prefer her palette: http://www.lacey-lewis.com/
