Description from the seller
Desmond
Oil and acrylic on canvas
100 cm x 140 cm (39 inches x 55 inches)
Desmond is a contemporary portrait that turns desire into a symbol: clean, direct, and loaded.
Painted in oil and acrylic on canvas (100 x 140 cm), Desmond is reduced to essentials: a dark, monumental figure, two pale, blank eyes, and a single, saturated red tongue against a warm ochre field. The simplicity is intentional. By stripping away detail, the image becomes more intense, less “person,” more presence. Desmond doesn’t perform emotion, he creates it in the viewer.
The erotic charge here comes from contrast and refusal. The eyes are vacant, unreadable, almost mask-like: while the mouth is pure physicality, an exposed interior turned outward. It’s an invitation and a provocation at the same time, held in one decisive gesture. There is no story given, no environment to explain it away. The painting stays on the edge of the explicit without crossing it, keeping the tension alive.
Desmond is a statement piece: minimal, sensual, and psychologically charged, made to dominate a space and pull attention back again and again.
This original painting by VITYRA is hand-signed on the reverse side to preserve the purity of the artwork’s surface and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The artwork will be shipped rolled in a secure, protective tube, an eco-friendly and safe method that reduces shipping costs and risk of damage. The canvas measures 100 x 140 cm (39 x 55 inches), with an extra 5 cm border on each side for easy re-stretching.
