Untitled 51 (Night Watch)

This painting stages a small procession of deer-like forms that glow in ochre and saffron, as if lit from within, yet held in tension by the cool, turbulent blues that surround them. The composition compresses space into a thicket of scratches and slashes, where outlines repeatedly dissolve and reassert themselves, turning the animals into both bodies and emblems—vulnerable presences navigating an unsettled field. The rhythmic repetition of the heads and the near-symmetry of the group reads like a quiet ritual of endurance, suggesting a fragile solidarity against an environment that feels at once protective and encroaching.
