Oil painting. Unique work. Handmade canvas, oil and acrylic paint. Delivered on a frame. 60x60 cm.

In a nocturnal street bathed in artificial light, a woman in a red dress slowly walks away, leaving behind a parked car like a silent witness. The scene, seen from behind, enhances the feeling of distance and irreversibility: something has just ended, or is about to.
The red bodywork, shining under the streetlights, acts as a chromatic echo to the female silhouette, linking the character to the object, to memory, to the interrupted movement. The illuminated facades, the reflections on the wet pavement, and the stretched urban perspective create a film noir atmosphere, where silence weighs more than words.
Le Yack captures here a suspended moment, charged with emotional tension and melancholy. Inspired by American realism and the cinematic imagination of the 40s–50s, this work invites the viewer to imagine the invisible story unfolding off-screen: a departure, a rupture, or perhaps just an inner decision.

The artist Le Yack's style is a bold blend of pop art, street art, and classical and modern painting. He uses his graphic tablet to create unique visual worlds by merging various digital resources and exploring a range of artistic techniques (Photoshop software, drawing on Procreate, and different royalty-free image resources and AI).
