Klaire LockheartAllow me to provide a snarky definition of the term “odalisque” as I share my oil painting called Grande Brodalisque II.
Did you see Grande Brodalisque II yet? (This painting is currently at the William Havu Gallery.)
Grande Brodalisque II is part of my series of dudes in man caves. After I share some background about this satirical artwork, I describe the details of the composition.

Grande Brodalisque II by Klaire Lockheart

I would never stop laughing if my painting of Theseus was displayed near a classic depiction of Ariadne.

I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting.

Who else schedules photoshoots for their artwork? Thanks to Aaron at Fotolab No.7 for photographing my huge, glossy painting! The image is up on my website, but if you want to see this artwork in person, you have until February 8th, 2026, to catch it at the Sioux City Art Center.
(There are flashing lights and high pitched beeps in this video.)
