Chris Rock - £80

- The Legend of Standup -

Chris rock is seen as one of the most pre-eminent stand-up comedians and comic minds of his generation. Throughout adolescence, Rock was highly persistent on the New York Club circuit, eventually getting his big break when he was talent-spotted by non other than Eddie Murphy. It was this new-found relationship that started Rock's climb to success.

Rock?s subject matter incorporates such topics as racism, current events, American politics, African-American culture and human sexuality. Much of his work can be connected in some way to his own past experiences, yet it's his ability to confront these issues, masked in a lewd humour, which has made him paramount to other comedians. The discontinuity between expectation and experience, between what you arrive expecting and what you leave understanding, is one basis of Rock's comic style.

My inspiration to paint Chris Rock was purely his comedy. I am a big fan and he makes me laugh. His is a face that I recognise instantly, and I appreciate what it is that he is trying to say when he gets up on the stage. I chose to focus in on just Rock's face to show that he is a proud man. He thinks before he speaks, and when he does finally say something, everyone can relate to it.
