A picture is worth a thousand words, or, in the case of these three, a thousand one-liners.
The Royal Academy of Arts houses works by comedians Harry Hill, Vic Reeves and Joe Lycett.
The trio of passionate artists beat 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 works for consideration. Those lucky enough to be chosen can see their works hung alongside those of 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 visitors, Reeves has submitted his work under his real name, Jim Moir.
The first piece is an acrylic painting of Antony and Cleopatra which can be bought for £4,500. The painting is a real shooting star at this year’s exhibition.
The second piece of art is a glazed ceramic called Gary Clam. However, the worker bee who sewed it said that Gary is not for sale.
My art will continue: The third painting is an oil and canvas called The House of Celine, in honour of the singer Celine Dion, priced at £1,200.
The 65-year-old artist has two prints on display at the annual show, including a color wheel of birds that has already sold out.
But will you be able to have the last laugh by connecting these works of art to their famous creators?
The first piece is an acrylic painting of Antony and Cleopatra which can be purchased for £4,500.
The image of this tragic duo is the shooting star of this year’s exhibition.
The second piece of art is a glazed ceramic called Gary Clam. However, the worker bee who sewed it said that Gary is not for sale.
The third painting is an oil and canvas called The House of Céline, in honor of the singer Céline Dion.
But if you can’t wait to get it framed, you’ll have to look hard as it’s priced at £1,200.
And the answers are: Antony and Cleopatra is by Jim Moir (Vic Reeves), Gary Clam is by Joe Lycett; and The House of Céline is by Harry Hill.
Vic Reeves, 65, submitted his colourful Antony and Cleopatra artwork to the Royal Academy of Arts under his real name Jim Moir.
Clam artist: Comedian Joe Lycett has said his ceramic clam is purely for display.
TV presenter and comedian Harry Hill painted the vibrant tribute to singer Celine Dion
