The Bath, 2020
Oil on Canvas
60 × 96 in | 152.4 × 243.8 cm
Spanning two juxtaposed panels, The Bath portrays a man reclined in water, cigarette in hand, his direct gaze confronting the viewer. Constructed with confident, sweeping brushstrokes and an expressive palette of muted blues, grays, and warm ochres, the painting merges figuration with abstraction. The water and flesh dissolve into painterly blocks—gestural fragments that both reveal and obscure the subject, echoing the tension between representation and form.
