The artist places his subjects at close range, illustrating people, mostly party-goers, at their most guarded façade. Often severe to the point of being pretentious, Escora’s subjects are products of their times: modern, urban, wealthy, well dressed, and bored. They are drawn from real life, from friends, dreams, places. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis painting marks Escora’s brilliant growth as an artist, his transition from the pencil and charcoal sketches that marked the start of his career to his current, more elaborate portraiture.
