AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Stasis” (2026)
Oil on canvas
180 x 130 cm
In strict side profile, a male face emerges from deep red - revealed through paint removal from a single, uniform crimson foundation. The profile orientation strips the face of its full dimension, reducing identity to silhouette and line. VANTA works the surface to extract form from color alone, the jaw, brow, and nose defined by how much red has been taken away and how much preserved.
The profile is among the most ancient of human depictions - currency, monument, memorial. Here it carries that same quality of arrested time, a face caught at a precise angle as though fixed permanently in the moment of its turning. Represented by S-Gallery and available on Catawiki. The removal work is careful and deliberate, the contours emerging with quiet authority from the surrounding red void.
Stasis names the condition the work inhabits. The figure is neither arriving nor departing - it exists in the interval between, held in red silence at the exact degree of its turn.
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.
