Model 2025 · No. 219
Model, pink green elegant
An almost dissolved figure, set down in hazy tones of pink with a single elegant green line binding shoulder, arm and head in one flowing gesture. Below, where the body meets the ground, ochre and dark green thicken into a small, bent bundle of paint that could be a hand or a knee. The rest of the sheet is little more than a haze of colour, scraped and rubbed to a mist, with thin blue chalk lines drifting through it like the memory of a pose. The result reads less as a portrait than as a gesture, held only for a moment.
