A young lady I know is a very talented artist. I attach a couple of examples of her work. She did the artwork for Rogues and has carried out other good commissions. I introduced her to a friend who has a gallery and she is selling through him too.
Her technique is interesting, she takes a photo of you, then digitally enhances it and then paints it onto canvas in various colours. Some, like the one attached are shades of one colour. Her work really has amazing impact. She has done a huge range of work, from nudes to Andy Warhol type stuff (see my Marilyn Munroe), portraits, she has painted something for me, it is all really amazing stuff.
She is available for more work if anyone is interested, please PM me.

"I really love you" she said. "Is that the champagne talking" he asked. "No" she laughed. "That's me talking to the champagne"

Re: Up and coming artist
Have you seen the exhibition at the National Gallery? A Chinese artist who uses similar colours on very spare and startling women's faces. More reduced and abstract than your friend. And probably a thousand times the price.
Good exhibition though.

Re: Up and coming artist
Yes it is a particularly sophisticated verson of PBN. It really is striking when you see it, her canvases are big and bold and her work is a focal point type work.
