The Black
Acrylic on canvas
150 x 120 cm
2024


The Black is an acrylic painting that extends across the floor in a reclined form. A dark mass lies over softly stained layers beneath, creating a contrast between a heavy, concentrated form and a dispersed, fluid ground. The layered staining produces a quiet tension between violence and gentleness, conflict and calm. The lowered posture of the canvas suggests rest, holding a moment of stillness.
