A pile of dudes in a contemporary man cave reenact an historic scene from Ancient Greece in this oil painting. Under the artwork, the caption informs, “Klaire Lockheart, Death of Aeschylus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 60x54”.” This oil painting of a luxuriating bro satirizes Le Grande Odalisque by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. This contemporary figure painting includes the following caption: “Klaire Lockheart, Grande Brodalisque II. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 40x60”.” A meticulous oil painting features a man dozing on a sofa with his arms overhead within the vicinity of a Red Bull energy drink. The caption under the artwork states, “Klaire Lockheart, Sleeping Theseus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 32x40”.” A pair of blokes wearing animal print suits recline in this composition, which is shown above the following text: “Klaire Lockheart, Subdued Dudes with Loud Suits. 2025.

Below an oil painting of dude reclining within the vicinity of an Army of Darkness poster, there’s a caption that reads, “Klaire Lockheart, Brodalisque Reclining in the Basement. 2021.

It’s always my pleasure to speak with Lori Walsh, and I was happy to catch up on the most recent episode of In the Moment! You can hear about my paintings at the William Havu gallery on SDPB!

This screen capture was taken from SDPB’s website, and the In the Moment logo is at the top. The title “Artist Klaire Lockheart's 'Brodalisque' portraits talk back to history's lounging female form” floats above text that reads, “By Lori Walsh,” in front of a white background. The In the Moment logo is at the top of this screenshot. Underneath, the follow text is displayed in a sans-serif font, “A Vermillion artist's work is currently on display in a Denver, Colorado art gallery. Klaire Lockheart's solo show at the William Havu Gallery features eleven oil paintings of men lounging on pillows and cushions, surrounded by remnants of modern masculinity. The paintings poke fun at art history and the men who dominate it. Lockheart stopped by the SDPB studios in Vermillion to talk with Lori Walsh.”

Here are a few of my favorite photos from my artist talk! See the artwork for yourself at the William Havu Gallery in Denver, CO, now through November 7th!

Photography by Aaron C Packard.

Standing before an attentive crowd in an art gallery, an enthusiastic nerd in gold pants gestures wildly in front of a large oil painting of swooning dudes. In front of a large oil painting of splendid bro reclining in a man cave, a goofy artist and a renowned art historian joke around with the audience while seated at a table. Beyond the edge of white wall displaying a small oil painting of a brodalisque draped on a blue sofa, a pair of bespectacled art professionals laugh toward the photographer. A trio of artsy people chat within a gallery space, surrounded by paintings, other awesome people, and rows of white chairs.

All my gratitude goes to everyone at the William Havu Gallery! I had a great time at the opening and during my artist talk!

In order to demonstrate that she is a painter and not a photographer, an artist in a red headband peeks into the lower edge of this selfie, surrounded by five glorious human beings, within a gallery displaying an oil painting parody of Grande Odalisque.

Art nerd alert! (When I made this painting inspired by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, but I also read Orientalism by Edward Said and Western Representations of the Muslim Woman by Mohja Kahf.)

In this photo, a cheeseball of an artist stands in front of a 6’ wide oil painting titled Brodalisque with Minibike. She points toward the handsome model, who lounges on cushions while clad in a Danger Mouse t-shirt and draped modestly with white fabric.

Sometimes it’s necessary for me to make large paintings of dudes in man caves. After describing my painting, I provide context by explaining why some 19th century artists made large paintings for the Paris Salon.

Barely able to contain her excitement, an artist poses in front of a small oil painting titled Brodalisque Reclining in the Basement. The aforementioned bro poses on a faux Turkish rug in a brick basement.

I’m heading to Denver on September 18th for the opening of my duo show with Wes Hempel at the William Havu Gallery! I’m also giving an artist talk on the 19th.

A goofball of an artist points upward and looks to their right in a not-so-subtle gesture to guide the viewer’s eyes in this photo to show off a small oil painting called Man Cave Boy, which depicts a dude seated upon a throne of garage stuff.
