A picture paints a thousand words or, in the case of these three, a thousand one-liners.
For these, on display in the Royal Academy of Arts, are the works of comedians Harry Hill, Vic Reeves and Joe Lycett.
The trio, all of whom are passionate artists, saw off stiff competition to win a coveted spot in the London gallery’s prestigious summer exhibition.
Every year tens of thousands of amateur artists submit their work for consideration. Those lucky enough to be chosen get to see their artworks hung alongside works by Royal Academicians and other professional artists.
Between them, the three comedians have contributed four works to the show. While the names of Hill, 59, and Lycett, 36, will be easily recognisable to gallery-goers, Reeves has submitted his work under his real name Jim Moir.
The first piece is an acrylic of Antony and Cleopatra which can be purchased for £4,500. The picture is quite the shooting star in this year’s exhibition
The second artwork is a glazed ceramic called Gary Clam. However the worker bee who stitched him together has said Gary is not for sale
My art will go on: The third painting is an oil and canvas called Celine’s House – in honour of singer Celine Dion, priced at £1,200
The 65-year-old has two prints on display at the annual show, including a bird colour wheel which has already sold out.
But can you have the last laugh by matching these artworks to their famous creators?
The first piece is an acrylic of Antony and Cleopatra which can be purchased for £4,500.
The picture of the tragic double act is quite the shooting star in this year’s exhibition.
The second artwork is a glazed ceramic called Gary Clam. However the worker bee who stitched him together has said Gary is not for sale.
The third painting is an oil and canvas called Celine’s House – in honour of singer Celine Dion.
But if you can’t wait to frame it, you’ll have to dig deep since it comes with a price tag of £1,200.
And the answers are: Anthony and Cleopatra is by Jim Moir (Vic Reeves), Gary Clam is by Joe Lycett; and Celine’s House is by Harry Hill
