Grisaille Study

## grisaille study This study in tonal contrast evokes a sense of emerging form from deep shadow. Thickly applied strokes of gray and white build a restless energy, suggesting a figure caught in a moment of internal struggle or fleeting transition. The composition, a vertical cascade of light and dark, feels both monumental and intensely personal. Rather than depicting a specific subject, the artist focuses on the expressive potential of value itself—the push and pull between illumination and obscurity. A palpable tension arises from the fractured, almost broken quality of the mark-making, hinting at vulnerability and the fragility of perception. The work resonates with a quiet drama, inviting contemplation of the unseen forces that shape our inner landscapes. It is a study not of what is *seen*, but of what is *felt*.
