Description
Boris Vallejo - Original Painting "Lady Demon" (Unpublished, 1995). Boris Vallejo started off as the son of a distinguished lawyer in Lima, Peru. A series of early career choices didn't quite work out, including aspirations to be a violinist and a doctor. He eventually went to art college where he found his true calling, fortunately for all of us. His prowess quickly showed itself, and it wasn't long before he decided to become a fantasy illustrator. He painted numerous covers for Warren's publishing empire including covers for Vampirella, Eerie and Creepy. As one of the most prolific fantasy and science fiction artists, having painted some 300 pieces by the end of the 1970s, Boris has relentlessly honed his craft at drawing barbarians, monsters, and incredibly beautiful women. The piece offered here is a masterpiece showing his exquisite ability to render the female form in all of its glory and seductiveness. Boris' paintings are always full of animal power and magnetism like the one in this lot. He has always found new ways to titillate with his paintings. Note the volcanos erupting in the background, the skulls in the foreground and Lady Demon's beautiful long-flowing white locks. While the demoness is muscular, she is also incredibly erotic. The question that remains is simply: "Is this creature wrapped in the throes of utter triumph or howling in sheer ecstasy?" Or, perhaps both? This stunning piece is in pristine condition and comes handsomely framed. The image area measures approximately 14" x 21".Auction Info
