Layers of pigment are built and disrupted in quick succession — sprayed, brushed, and interrupted — creating a surface that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. The cardboard support remains present, grounding the composition in a tactile, almost provisional reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragments of line, gesture, and implied iconography emerge across the surface, resisting fixed interpretation. Marks appear as visual shorthand — part language, part instinct — suggesting a coded system that is felt rather than fully deciphered. This tension between clarity and ambiguity gives the work its energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe square format introduces balance, containing the expressive force within a disciplined structure. Colour relationships shift across the surface, creating moments of intensity alongside quieter passages where the material breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented framed, the work achieves a considered equilibrium between rawness and refinement — preserving its immediacy while situating it within a contemporary gallery context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a one-off original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio 198","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53408899891537,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4806\/4081\/files\/art-gallery-wall---12_1.jpg?v=1774819393","url":"https:\/\/studio198.art\/products\/king-jean","provider":"Studio 198","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
