Description from the seller

HAL SUNDAY (1930) - The Blue Hour - Mixed media on canvas
Mixed media, Acrylic painting · Digital painting · Hand-signed · 2026

With chin resting in the palm, her gaze turned slightly away, lost in thought passing through her, she lingers at dusk in the velvet of a café. A deep blue cloche hat, pure line from the 1930s, crowns her blonde curls and casts a soft shadow on her forehead; under the partly open biscuit trench, a turquoise collar captures the single vivid note. The wall lamp grazes her cheek with a warm glow, her garnet lips contrast against ivory skin, while behind her the petrol-green wall and the gilded frame fade into the gloom. Nothing moves: neither glass nor hour. It is the suspended moment of waiting, this “blue hour” when the city is quiet and a woman, alone at her table, contemplates her own absence. Contained melancholy, inhabited silence, late-day light — the spirit of Edward Hopper, transfigured.

Technique: acrylic painting on a pigment-ink print, varnished.
Gold leaf and varnish applied by hand for the brilliance of the golds and the durable protection of the work.
Support: premium canvas stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
Format: 40 × 60 cm.
Signed HAL SUNDAY · Galerie Labo Joconde / Atelier Joconde · certificate of authenticity provided.

HAL SUNDAY is one of the creations bringing together artists Le Yack, Neo Pablo and Popsan within Atelier Joconde, a family studio where three sensibilities coexist: neo-realism, pop, and free figuration. Under the name HAL SUNDAY, the Atelier revives the muffled America of the 1930s-40s and Edward Hopper’s heritage: solitary figures, natural light that shapes the moment, inhabited silences and restrained melancholy, in the tradition of American scene painting.

Each work is a unique piece.

Seller's Story

Galerie Joconde est un atelier familial et un laboratoire de création contemporaine, où trois artistes : Le Yack, Popsan et Neo Pablo, croisent leurs univers pour produire des collections originales. Loin d'une simple galerie de vente, c'est un véritable lieu de production où les styles se lient, se confrontent et donnent naissance à de nouveaux mouvements. L'atelier travaille aussi bien en création collective qu'en démarches individuelles : chaque œuvre proposée peut être le fruit du travail d'un, de deux, ou des trois artistes réunis. Toutes les œuvres proviennent directement de l'atelier des artistes, sans intermédiaire. Les originaux sont des pièces uniques. Chaque œuvre est signée et accompagnée d'un certificat d'authenticité, et expédiée avec un emballage professionnel adapté au transport international.
