Description
“Sage Profile”
Closer in than the rest of the series. The cream figure on the right shows nearly the full profile — a long nose, full black lips parted by a single pale line — while a moss-green companion crowds in from the left edge, almost merging into the dark navy ground. The composition reads as a quiet, sculptural double-portrait, the two heads pressed together as if cut from a single block.
Color is decisive and reduced. Bone cream against moss green and a deep navy field, with charcoal-black doing the work of every shadow. The black eye-slits and full lips are placed with confidence; nothing is rendered, everything is shape. That graphic discipline is what gives the piece its modernist authority — it could sit on a museum wall and not feel out of place.
This is a strong piece for collectors who like figurative work that does not slip into the usual sentimental register. It works in a contemporary living room with linen and oak, an art-leaning office, a quiet dining wall in a boutique restaurant, or a low-lit den. Hang it on a soft white wall with no neighbors so the negative space around the heads can breathe.
Up close it tells you it is a hand-painted oil. The cream and green are pulled with a dry brush so visible streaks run vertically through both faces; the navy ground is layered with darker washes and faint horizontal scrapes; the lips and eyes have small ridges where the paint built up at the contour. That tactile, slightly weathered finish is the value point — a print would lose every streak and read as dead-flat color.
Hand-painted on canvas, it joins our wider range of abstract wall art.

Closer in than the rest of the series. The cream figure on the right shows nearly the full profile — a long nose, full black lips parted by a single pale line — while a moss-green companion crowds in from the left edge, almost merging into the dark navy ground.
Visual cues include face, figure, and portrait. The palette is anchored by beige, black, and cream. The composition is vertical.
Best suited for a bedroom, hallway, and home office. Works well in boutique hotel and hotel.
Pairs naturally with cubism and figurative interiors. A vertical hang reads well above a sideboard or a narrow console.
The colors centre on beige, black, cream, green, and navy. The overall temperature is cool, settling the room into a calm and considered mood.
The painter works in oil on stretched canvas, with no division of labour between sketch and finish. Edges are softened where the eye should rest and sharpened where it should stop, with tonal value carried through measured passes.
The cubism character runs through the underpainting, while the figurative feel emerges in the surface passes. For Sage Profile, drying and varnishing follow the traditional oil-painting cycle so the finished surface holds without yellowing. The vertical stretch keys the canvas tighter at the long edges, which is what holds a tall format true on the wall.
Hang a vertical canvas where the wall itself is taller than it is wide; the format leans into that proportion. Hang the centre about 145-155 cm above the floor, with at least 30 cm of clear wall on either side.
In a bedroom, Sage Profile reads best on the wall you look at first when entering. Step back to roughly twice the canvas height to take Sage Profile in — that is the distance the painter worked at.
