About this work
A man with tousled brown hair, a mustache and short beard looks directly out, a pale surgical mask pulled down around his neck. He holds a wooden palette in one hand and a brush loaded with magenta paint in the other, poised beside a wall streaked with drips of pink, yellow-green and red.
Oil paint is handled tightly on the face and hands with smooth academic modeling, while the wall behind is attacked with loose, gestural drips of saturated color. The muted grey-green backdrop against acid pink and lime streaks creates a jolt of energy set against the sitter's steady gaze, giving the image a restless, defiant charge.
