Portrait of a King
Eleanor Ryan

Exhibited at Village West in the Under the Influence show, Fall 2016

Figure Motif (1921)
Gustav Miklos
Inspiration piece for Eleanor Ryan in the
Under the Influence show, Fall 2016


"Miklos depicts a elegant figure in its most basic shapes. I mimicked the style and took the elegance a step further into regality. I used bolder colors in a similar scheme to dramatize the figure's importance and emotions. I took Miklos' shapes and moved them to have different representations of body parts. I rearranged the background to give the painting more depth and push the figure forwards. My painting depicts a bolder character in the style and world Miklos had created."
