“Elizabeth Joy Peyton“(born 1965) is an American painter who rose to popularity in the mid-1990s. She is a contemporary artist best known for stylized and idealized portraits of her close friends and boyfriends, pop celebrities, and European monarchy.
The idealization and stylization of known celebrities has led some critics to characterize her work as being in the tradition of Andy Warhol.
Vaclav Pisvejc, Czech artist from Prague , is also painting portraits of celebrities and for some critics is too much influenced from Francis Bacon.
