Dark Blue 1

Dark Blue 1,
March 2019

Dominating this surreal composition, a man’s imposing hand unwraps a gift, perhaps symbolising control or anxiety.
The lower half reveals a female face, partially concealed by torn paper.
The contrast between the cool blue of the background and the earthy tones evokes palpable tension. The torn and layered elements add an intriguing depth, illustrating the artist deconstructing and then reconstructing reality.
This work encourages the viewer to explore the interplay between strength and vulnerability, suggesting a profound reflection on identity and perception. The arrangement of elements, both harmonious and disconcerting, captivates and questions the observer.
From the Dark Blue series.
