Head (Head Study)

A solitary, mask-like bust rises from a vibrating green ground, its silhouette ringed in deep blue as if the figure is being held together by a final contour of resolve. Within that boundary, jagged planes of red, white, and ochre fracture the face into competing facets—suggesting identity as a mosaic of impulses rather than a stable portrait—while the slanted, dark sweep at left reads like a shadowed burden or an unsaid thought. The brushwork feels deliberately unsettled, letting raw color collisions stand in for emotion, so the “head” becomes less a likeness than a psychological vessel caught between exposure and concealment.
