Malcolm T. Liepke

Malcolm T. Liepke (b. 1953, Minneapolis) is an American figurative painter celebrated for intimate, atmospheric portraits rendered in rich, painterly layers. Drawing on the legacies of Sargent, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec, his subjects—often solitary, reflective figures—are characterised by saturated colour, lush skin tones and a palpable sense of mood. He lives and works in Minneapolis.
