Michael Jackson, Sings by David Lloyd Glover

In this superb painting, David Lloyd Glover explores the magnetic aura of the greatest pop music star. The work proudly belongs to the contemporary art movement through an expressive and intimate portrait. Bearing the title “Michael Jackson, Sings”, this artistic creation illustrates a suspended moment of communion with the audience. The painter uses a colorful aesthetic to immortalize the natural grace of the King of Pop on stage.

The subject is depicted in a close-up view, his face turned toward the sky in an expression of pure ecstasy. His sparkling white glove, an iconic symbol of his visual identity, is raised high and richly decorated with tiny shimmering dots. The performer’s face is modeled with warm shades of ochre and red that contrast with the surrounding darkness. Behind him, a deep blue and turquoise background is scattered with luminous bubbles and ethereal golden circles. A dark jacket embroidered with a shiny band brings additional texture to this captivating composition. The microphone he holds close to his mouth is barely visible in this mysterious and magical nocturnal atmosphere.

The artist’s technical virtuosity is expressed through the brilliant use of wet pigments. The delicate play between the transparency of the washes and the realism of the glove’s details shows perfect dexterity. This highly sensitive work demonstrates an accomplished art.
