A pale ribbon of smoke rises against charcoal gray in Smoke and Ochre, an intimate portrait of a seated male nude. The bearded figure meets the viewer’s gaze, his raised hand drawing attention toward the face while the bent knee brings depth to the foreground.
Golden ochre, terracotta, and muted rose give the skin warmth against the dark setting. Broad passages of watercolor and acrylic describe the body through light and shadow, with visible brushwork lending texture to the composition. The stillness of the pose and drifting smoke create the feeling of a moment suspended.
This 8 × 10-inch painting offers a distinctive addition to a collection of contemporary figurative painting, male portraiture, or queer art.
Sold with white mat that measures 11”x14”
