Painting Marisol Yotta in the studio
The two refuse to sit together. I painted Marisol (Bubblegum) to find out which one wins, and after several weeks neither had. If anything, the small playful thing makes the rest stranger rather than softer, which is the opposite of what I expected when I started.
Days at a time over several weeks. No sketch, no plan. It stopped when I was finished with it.
Marisol Yotta paintings: what exists
Oil on stretched canvas, 100 x 80 cm, signed, one of one, from Painted Idols -- a series of oil portraits of women whose own image is their work. Painted from a photograph she published herself. There is no print of it. The canvas was painted by hand from that photograph; what it became is the painter's doing, not hers.
What is still available, and at what price, is on the cards below.
“Something stops me. Then I have to deal with it.”
I wrote to Marisol Yotta about this painting, as I do to every woman in the series. Not every message gets an answer. If you are Marisol Yotta, or you made the photograph, and you would rather it were not shown here: write to the studio and it comes down. No explanation needed.
