The Gallery's Perspective
A low, tense hush runs through this image—the way the figure leans forward makes you feel the moment just before motion. The masked warrior occupies the right plane with a guarded, prowling posture; his textured cloak and banded arm coverings read as practical armor while the helmet’s reflective ridges hold the eye. The cool, blue vertical strokes of the background suggest a dense, wintry forest or a veiled space, and they push the figure forward so his red, crackling blade becomes the scene’s single source of heat. That stark color contrast—icy blues against vivid scarlet—creates immediate drama and a sense of danger without loud detail. Small touches, like the frayed edge of his hood and the soft fall of the ambient light, give the piece a tactile, lived-in presence. It’s a work that feels cinematic: brooding, suspenseful, and quietly powerful, with the bright blade insisting on attention and the figure’s stance promising action at any instant.

It was seven years ago when he first picked up a paintbrush - out of necessity - and painted a "Star Wars" character.
"I had seen a very simple Star Wars painting on eBay, knowing that my wife wouldn t let me purchase it," he says. So he went to the store and bought some canvas and paint and "painted something similar."
He continued painting and exhibited at a number of shows at Full of Beans cafe, which led to shows with the National Gallery and a solo show at the former local gallery, Arteccentrix.
"I was then approached by New York filmmaker Brian Gonzales [aka "Taxiplasm" on Vimeo, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter] to participate in a group show in collaboration with Sean Lennon [son of the Beatles John Lennon] which took place at The Box in New York City," he says. "After that, I took an entire year to work on paintings for a Lucasfilm portfolio review."
Lipton, who was born in Ontario, Canada, first came to Cayman in
1983. He spent summers with his grandparents in Pease Bay, "catching lizards and crabs, running up and down on the beach with the neighborhood dogs, fishing and snorkeling.
He has lived in Cayman since 1997.
"I have lots of family in Cayman, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins and my grandma in the Brac, Barbara Malone nee Watler. She s 83 years and strong as ever, she brought me everywhere. She traveled when I was a kid and is a second mother to me."
