Coinciding with a retrospective exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery, The Many Faces of Jonathan Yeo is the first major publication on the artist. Renowned for his distinctive, highly figurative canvases and controversial collages, he employs a range of media and techniques to create a diverse body of work that expands the traditions of portraiture while examining contemporary perceptions of beauty, celebrity and power. Over more than a decade, he has gained an international reputation for painting some of the most famous faces of our age: Nicole Kidman, Dennis Hopper, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Fry, Damien Hirst, Sienna Miller, Rupert Murdoch, Grayson Perry, Tony Blair and Prince Philip are just a selection of the many household names who have sat for Yeo. Jonathan Yeo (born 1970) is one of Britain’s best-known portrait painters.

Numerous contributions from his subjects lift the lid on what it is like to be scrutinized by the artist’s exacting, forensic eye and to have oneself captured on canvas. Dozens of studio shots and photographs of works in progress reveal Yeo’s working practice and chart the process of creating individual portraits. Alongside his intimate portraits of well-known sitters are dramatic and unsettling studies of cosmetic surgery patients that document the compulsive and painful pursuit of physical perfection. Featuring his most popular paintings, drawings, collages and prints, the book also presents several new canvases made especially for the show. ![]()
