Gerald (Portrait Series: Innerworlds) Acrylic

Gerald is heavy with thought, a portrait in deep blues and stark blacks. Sweeping gestures are interrupted by compact, layered brushwork that reinforces the gravity of doubt and reflection.

Overpainting builds a dense surface, with subtle outlines giving shifting definition to Gerald’s form. The unpainted edges serve as contrast: rawness against the weight of pigment. Gerald carries the viewer into moments of hesitation and searching, a painting where colour itself bears the weight of contemplation.
