‘I used to wear capes,sandals and a tam\u2026 they disappeared around the time my wife, Mary, came into my life’<\/h2>\n
\n
The Court Painter is stoical, emotionally controlled, never eager or needy, but instead mysterious, detached and self-possessed. The Court Painter is gracefully competent at something, but doesn\u2019t need the world\u2019s applause to know his worth. That\u2019s because Court Painter has found his own unique and authentic way of living with nonchalant intensity.<\/div>\n
\n

Court Painter made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine’s August issue and heads are turning.\u00a0The overall glowing story \u00a0calls Court Painter \u201ca progressive, rational, forward-thinking art leader\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the front cover, Court Painter is pictured with the words \u201cWhy Can\u2019t He Be Our Court Painter?\u201d He stares intensely through clouds of smoke as he leans in to best express his Alpha presence.<\/p>\n

The photo has annoyed conservative politicians and art pundits of the Great Dominion with the usual comments about his lack of hair, his lack of appeal to young non smoking Canadians and how he can’t even spell feminist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

The Great Dominion’s Court Painter , was seen celebrating at the Ship & Anchor pub, earlier this week, after making the 2016 International Best-Dressed List released in Vanity Fair,Vogue,Rolling Stone and GQ.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Court Painter has earned a new distinction, joining Barack and Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, members of the British Royal family and actors Idris Elba, Fan Bingbing and Helen Mirren on Vanity Fair’s latest edition of the International Best-Dressed List. Notably Chris Cran has not been included again this year!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The magazines released the 2016 editions this week, with Court Painter \u2014 a self-confessed fan of “colourful socks without holes”\u00a0\u2014 among the figures lauded for their sartorial decisions.<\/p>\n

\n

One of the favourite items in Court Painter’s closet is the fringed, leathery jacket he made from Inglewood road kill.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Under his entry, Court Painter listed “a well-worn pair of mom jeans” as well as the “handmade road kill jacket” among his favourite items of clothing.<\/p>\n

With a note of self-deprecation, he also quipped that his style icon \u2014 if left to his own devices \u2014 was the Nelson Auteur character from the Nelson Auteur\u00a0video<\/em>\u00a0series.<\/p>\n

“I used to wear capes,sandals and a tam,” he says. “Oddly, they disappeared around the time my wife, Mary, came into my life. By the way, she is not the battle axe as has been rumoured.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Court Painter\u00a0is depicted on the magazine’s website\u00a0in a host of images, from\u00a0wearing dapper suits and formal studio wear for art openings, events and international portrait summits ; to more casual wear\u00a0while imbibing, during the Stampede parade and at a previous blast at the Alberta Orphan & Abandoned Well Festival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The annual list dates back to 1940, when it was founded by American fashion industry pioneer Eleanor Lambert to create “a sociological record of our time.”<\/p>\n

Last winter, Vogue magazine almost published a lengthy profile of Court Painter\u00a0, complete with dramatic photos\u00a0of his Inglewood studio and his local drinking hole. He was also hailed as “The Court Painter of Suave” by GQ magazine.<\/p>\n
