Conflating the fading auras of painting and fame, Peyton excavates the curious space between person and persona, between abstraction and life. In 'Thursday (Tony)', these relationships create an elegant and seductive economy of their own. 'I'm interested in my subjects being able to be themselves while occupying this extreme role in the public imagination.' she says. 'You can see their will, and that's incredibly beautiful'.
