This is a dramatic, powerful and provocative painting which supports a view that Lenkiewicz
was an outstanding figure painter. Esther in Orange and Red Dress is part
of Project 18; The Painter with Women.
It is inscribed extensively on the reverse by Lenkiewicz with references to the Daemon
Series – St Anthony Theme which addresses temptation and addiction. There
is a further reference by the Painter to the theme of the Double where the
identity of ‘oneself’ is reflected and exists in the ‘other’.
The estimate for this Lenkiewicz painting is £15,000-20,000 and it is offered
on 23 April 2009 in Exeter together with 11 other Lenkiewicz originals
with estimates from £1,000-£20,000.
