Stella Vine: Embracing the Tree of Celebrity
"Stella Vine is the ex-wife of Stuckist co-founder, Charles Thomson, and is now a famous artist in her own right, having been picked up by Charles Saatchi. She has made her name by painting celebrities, most famously Princess Diana. Without the celebrity paintings, would she have become famous? Possibly not, but I guess we will never know. My attempt to purchase one of Stella's works was met with an email which said, "Go fuck yourself". This appears in the poppy field, a symbolic flower linking to a painting by Gina Bold (who, for the record, was at least polite in her refusal) called "Poppies for Stella".
