Off Axis - Silent Measure - XL

Silent Measure by Off Axis – Limited Edition XL

A face emerges from the white, crossed by musical staves as if by a memory etched into matter. The cracks are not brutal ruptures, but passages, revealing the silence between the notes. With closed eyes, the figure seems to listen to an inner music, suspended between presence and erasure. Silent Measure evokes that fragile moment when emotion plays out in the interval, where sound disappears but continues to resonate.

Artistic and technical approach:

The work rests on a pared-down, almost architectural composition, where the face becomes a support for notation. The musical lines structure the image, while the fractures introduce an irregular visual rhythm. The contrast between the deep black of the cracks, the softness of the grays, and the measured sheen of the lips creates a controlled tension, manually crafted to enhance the depth and readability of the whole.
