AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Littoral” (2026)
Oil on canvas
180 x 130 cm
An intimate close-up captures two faces at the moment before a kiss - only lips, noses, and chins visible in tight cropping that eliminates everything except this anticipated connection. VANTA has carved these fragments from deep blue oil paint through careful removal, creating all detail and dimensionality within a single color. The narrow focus intensifies the charged moment, suspending it in blue darkness.
The removal technique defines soft anatomical curves and the slight gap between the two faces with remarkable delicacy. Represented by S-Gallery and available on Catawiki. Despite working in monochrome through subtraction alone, the piece captures both physical presence and emotional tension - that held breath before contact, the gravitational pull between two forms about to connect.
The substantial canvas gives this cropped moment unexpected scale, transforming an intimate gesture into something monumental. The surrounding blue darkness presses in, isolating this fragment of human connection and amplifying its significance through elimination of all context except the impending touch.
Shipping:
The work is delivered without a frame (professional packaging, rolled in a tube). it can easily be restretched by a professional or on your own, this is also cheaper then the otherwise increased cost of shipping when sending paintings of this size stretched
The measurements indicated are those of the painting stretched and mounted on a frame (The actual
measurements of the canvas are larger to allow it to be mounted on a frame 2-4cm thick.
