In Memory of Queen Elizabeth II: Her Majesty’s Life in Portraits

(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022)

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest reigning monarch, passed away peacefully on Thursday at the age of 96.

The world-beloved queen was an inspiration to numerous artists and resulted in a multitude of unforgettable images in every imaginable medium during her 70-year reign. 

Together, The Queen’s official portraits, nearly 1,000 of them, present a portrait of a woman unflinching in her sense of duty. But they also reveal someone who has repeatedly embraced change, new ideas and experimentation through her sitting for such a wide range of portrait artists since she became Queen in 1952.

If official imagery helps to mythologise a monarch, Arthur Machin did more to epitomise the idea of Queen Elizabeth than any other artist. Commissioned by the Stamp Advisory Committee, Arthur Machin developed his profile of the Queen in 1967. Known as the “definitive” in philately circles, it has since been reproduced more than 220 billion times and is still used on stamps today.

Oluwole Omofemi (b 1988, Nigerian) learned the lessons of life early on from his grandfather. Guided by the wise elder, who had set out as a fashion designer and tailor before becoming a driver, the young artist knew what he wanted to do, even if his schools didn’t teach it. 

Self-taught in the beginning and self-motivated once he did study art at The Polytechnic in his hometown of Ibadan in Nigeria, Omofemi has always been a standout in the creative crowd.Initially inspired by the local urban landscape and community of people who inhabited it, Omofemi found his true calling when he started focusing on idealistic paintings of his peers. 

“My style changed when I started painting black women with my own dark skin color,” the artist shared from his Ibadan studio. “I don’t want to just paint a picture. I want a picture that captures the soul. I want a picture that captures personality. These are the things I want people to see.”
