The Summer Exhibition presents works by Elizabeth Peyton (born in 1965, lives in Orient, Long Island). Peyton is
primarily concerned with portraiture. Her small-scale painting (oil on wood or canvas), drawings, gouaches and
photographs are characterized by a highly unique radiant quality. She portrays people from many different walks of
life, friends, fellow artists, pop stars, society celebrities, etc. Her subjects include people from her own immediate
environment, historical figures and personalities from the world of the rich and famous made popular through media
exposure - all of whom she interprets from the same perspective.
