Bill Schiffer Acrylic Painting
Item Details
An acrylic painting on canvas of stylized portraiture by contemporary New York artist Bill Schiffer. This Art Deco inspired painting depicts a symmetrical composition of two figures in profile, who stare intently at one another as a horizontal bar connects their sight line. The vectorized foreground is reinforced by rays intersecting off into a single vanishing point. To the lower right corner is a painted signature. The painting is wrapped over a wooden stretcher with hanging wire and a stamp that reads ‘Anjac Primed, Louvre’ to the verso.
Born in New York, Bill Schiffer rose to prominence as a painter and sculptor in the early 1980’s. Though he still works in many two dimensional and three dimensional art mediums, Schiffer is most well known for his unique handcrafted jewelry, which he started designing after a foray experimenting with wearable art in the fashion scene. Bill Schiffer’s art and jewelry has been shown in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, as well as major museums in Italy, Japan, Germany and the United States. His work has been featured in publications including Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Women’s Wear Daily, Seventeen and Cosmopolitan.
