Original painting on canvas, "Fiery George Washington" by Serg Graff, COA

This is a rare, unique original acrylic and mixed‑media painting on canvas in a striking naïve primitivism style, depicting George Washington (1732–1799)—the Founding Father and first President of the United States—through a bold, contemporary lens.

Serg Graff reimagines Washington with vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes, transforming the iconic portrait into something modern, whimsical, and full of energy. The face, rendered in warm tones of orange, red, and pink, is enriched with swirling textures and sharp lines that lend it an almost sculptural depth. Large, intense eyes command attention, while the textured hair blends black with bright color highlights, playfully reinterpreting Washington’s traditional powdered wig.

The background bursts with vivid blues and yellows, featuring abstract details like a golden chair back that frames the figure, adding surreal and symbolic elements. His lace cravat and 18th‑century attire are detailed in intricate, swirling patterns, merging historical reference with Graff’s signature contemporary freedom.

The painting is housed in an ornate gilt frame, whose rich finish complements the work’s daring color and style, giving this reimagined historical figure a sense of grandeur and modern flair. Graff’s work invites viewers to reflect on history through a fresh, imaginative, and vibrant perspective.
