Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this delightful oil painting on canvas board by the artist Julian Gordon Mitchell, who has signed the painting with his full name on the back of the canvas, as shown. The painting depicts a showgirl putting on her high heels, while seated on a chair in her dressing room and has been executed in warm, subtle tones.. It is interesting to note that this same figure appears in a similar pose in another of the artist's works.

Julian Gordon Mitchell was born in 1968. He studied drawing at Heatherleys, before achieving a BA at Wolverhampton University and an MA in Fine Art at Brighton University. He comes from a family of artists, with his grandfather being the artist Arthur Croft Mitchell 1872-1958 and his great uncle being the watercolourist Arthur Croft 1828-1893. In fact his studio in Wadhurst is situated adjacent to the house that his great uncle built. He also has been lecturing on Art History at Bracknell & Wokingham College for many years.

He has exhibited since 1990 both at home and abroad, at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Royal Oil Painters Institute, National Portrait Gallery etc. He signs either with his name in full on the front of works, on the back, with his initials, or his monogram which is a capital M in a circle.

The painting is framed in a modern, 1 3/4 inch cream painted frame and will be supplied professioonally framed and ready to hang.
