Los Angeles-based oil painter Aaron Nagel returns with his latest classically inspired "Lady With Sphinx." Pulling inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady With An Ermine" Nagel updates the weasel in this modern take of the master's work. Nagel has been with 1xRUN since his own 2012 classic RUN #00148 "The Calming" and his oil paintings have long been a collector favorite. Read on as Aaron Nagel breaks down "Lady With Sphinx" from his upcoming release on Friday September 11th at 12pm EST.
"'Lady With a Sphinx" was humbly modeled after the Leonardo DaVinci painting, "Lady With An Ermine." It is my second attempt at a painting modeled after a classic, the first being my version (of Bouguereau’s version) of the Piéta. I have always liked "Lady With An Ermine;" the lighting on the figure, the stark background, the lettering in the upper left hand corner, and of course, the Ermine (because what the fuck is an ermine?!)
Trying to get the reference photo looking similar was a challenge, but an enjoyable one, as I never have a concrete idea of how I want reference to look, so there tends to be a lot of trial and error. This time, I messed with it until the pose and lighting was right, then just took a few hundred pictures there, with very subtle pose and expression changes. This piece was painted for the “Three Figures†exhibition at Maxwell Alexander Gallery in June of 2014. It was a 3-man show, with Jeremy Mann, Sean Cheetham, and myself. They are two of my favorite artists, so it was a huge honor to show with them." - Aaron Nagel
