Description
Cubist Couple – two faces in white contours
A composition in the Picasso tradition – two interlocked faces, bright orange and dark brown, bound by thick white contours, over an olive-green hatched ground, with a striped hand across the bottom: the left face is vivid orange-cream, a profile-frontal hybrid with a closed lashed eye and a serene mouth, and the right is dark brown with a grey-mottled cheek.
Technique & Texture
The right face carries a heavy black lash fan over its closed eye and shares the nose line with the left, while a dark hair mass with a swirled bun sits upper right with a white-ringed ear and an earring. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – a large pale hand with striped fingers spreads across the lower centre, four fingers with orange pads and black chevrons resting on a white fold.
The Motif
A dark brown arm sweeps in from the lower right, and the red zones sit at mid-height – the left shoulder and a red hatched panel at the right middle. An olive-green ground with black comb-hatching surrounds the pair, and the white contours bind the two faces, which share a single gaze.
Styling & Placement
An art painting for living rooms, bedrooms and reception areas; the cubist faces draw the eye, the warm colours warm the room. Wall art for lovers of modernist figuration.
