With Languar by Craig Simpson

Craig asked for the input from the two models in this painting for ideas with the title. Maïté and Jessica, both professional translators thought ‘Languor’ summed up the feeling well, as the painting evokes a state of blissful relaxation. The theme of the painting was initially inspired by Craig’s current influence in religious imagery from the fourteenth and fifteenth century, mainly, the works of Robert Campin and Gerard David
