This painting tells the story of an Elvis Presley impersonator. He stands alone in a vacated room, caught in the last throws of his song. Both his expression and the limply hanging microphone suggest a vain attempt at a seductive pose and also his hopeless submission. The background, akin to a carelessly assembled Klimt painting, hint at disorder and confusion not only in the setting itself but in the man’s state of mind. The chairs, with their distorted legs, appear to be the only ones left dancing to his music.
The narrative as a whole touches upon the strange nature of idol worship. The seemingly commonplace need to live one’s life through another.

Rory Mitchell is a contemporary Norwegian painter. Although his working process relies heavily on a solid draughtsmanship, over the years this has been incorporated in a number of art disciplines, primarily oil painting and gouache painting. His intent is that the distorted lines and emotive colours lend themselves to the narratives he creates.
Today Mitchell works mostly with oil on canvas and creates figurative paintings with rich color palettes and Expressionist undertones.
Rory Mitchell was born in 1977, in Scotland, where he graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art.
