Art & Design: The King and I

For David Oxtoby, Elvis is king. He's been painting rock'n'roll stars since the 50s, much to the bemusement of the art establishment. Most of the paintings in this film—of Presley, Haley, Gene Vincent, etc.—were stolen and subsequently burnt by Italian bandits, and so Arena presents a unique chance to view the work of this entertaining but ill-starred artist.
