Beneath the Armour
90 x 120 cm
His imposing form is built from bold, untamed strokes, while his eyes reveal something gentler beneath. A portrait of the tenderness we sometimes protect from view.
About this work
Built from broad strokes of charcoal, blue-grey and burnt gold,
the bear fills the canvas with weight and presence. Yet his small,
searching eyes reveal something softer beneath his imposing form.
People, too, can build a heavy exterior around what feels most delicate. Distance can offer protection, while a guarded expression may conceal sensitivity, uncertainty or a need to feel safe.
Beneath the armour, tenderness remains.
In your space
Charcoal and blue-grey bring depth, while burnt gold adds warmth and movement. The bear gives your space a grounded yet gentle presence.
