Catch Richard Phillips' Most Wanted Through March 8th

Jan 28, 2011 - by Lester Brathwaite

New York-based contemporary artist Richard Phillips has chosen some of the world's most recognizable faces -- including Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Leonardo DiCaprio -- for "Most Wanted," a new series of large-scale oil paintings on view now in his solo show at the White Cube gallery in London.

The artist has captured ten superstars from TV, movies and music and their rehearsed red carpet expressions, against backdrops branded by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and YSL, among others.

Phillips, who also shows at the Gagosian Gallery in New York, has already amassed some pop-culture cred -- his paintings are featured regularly on Gossip Girl, and he's collaborated with Jimmy Choo, MAC Cosmetics, Cartier, and Mont Blanc, among others.

"Most Wanted" will be on display at London's White Cube gallery from now until March 8th.
