This 1989 vintage modernist acrylic … more 1989 Lee Grantham " Crimson Lips On Parchment Skin " Acrylic On Canvas Painting, Signed
This 1989 vintage modernist acrylic painting by American artist Lee Grantham, titled “Crimson Lips on Parchment Skin,” exemplifies bold and intricate composition. The artwork features a striking central figure of a woman with a sensual and exaggerated pose, adorned with crimson lips and a vibrant short blonde hairstyle, emphasizing its provocative and stylish theme. The skin of the figure is rendered in textured patterns, simulating the sensation of “parchment skin,” as referenced in the title, with delicate strokes and color contrasts.
The painting is framed with an energetic border of green and blue, marked by sharp geometric motifs, creating a vibrant juxtaposition to the vivid red background. The red field is detailed with organic patterns and small illustrative elements such as a magnifying man inspecting with a telescope, framed vignettes, and pop art-inspired symbols scattered throughout.
Grantham employs a modernist approach infused with elements of pop art and abstract storytelling. The textual phrase “Crimson Lips on Parchment Skin” across the top integrates wordplay into the narrative, adding a conceptual layer to the artwork. The combination of strong color contrasts, sharp details, and symbolic imagery makes this piece an evocative example of Grantham’s distinctive style and thematic exploration of femininity, texture, and visual intrigue.
Lee Grantham is an American Postwar & Contemporary painter who was born in 1953. Numerous key galleries and museums such as Racine Art Museum have featured Lee Grantham's work in the past.
