Description from the seller
PENUMBRA (1600) - Ex Tenebris (Tyto alba) - Mixed media on canvas
Mixed media, acrylic painting · digital painting · hand signed · 2026
From the deep night emerges a mother-of-pearl face. The barn owl turns its heart-shaped face toward us, edged with amber and tawny, a dark, liquid eye fixed on the shadow with sovereign acuity. The body, speckled with gold and ash, dissolves into the blue-night darkness from which only a ray of light breaks, carving each feather into living reliefs. Perched on its branch, motionless, it is all presence and mystery—a silent sentinel of a nocturnal realm. The work draws on the great tradition of tenebrism, that baroque art of bringing life out of a background of darkness by the mere grace of light. Here, the nocturnal raptor becomes an icon: noble, fierce, timeless. A face-to-face with the gaze of night.
Technique mixte : acrylic painting on ink-pigmented print, matte varnish.
Varnish applied by hand, for the depth of blacks and the lasting protection of the work.
Support: premium canvas stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang.
Format: 60x40cm
Signed PENUMBRA · Galerie Labo Joconde / Atelier Joconde · certificate of authenticity provided.
PENUMBRA 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 libre figuration. Under the name PENUMBRA, the Atelier explores animal portraiture in chiaroscuro, in the legacy of baroque tenebrism: figures emerging from the shadow, sculpting light, richly textured matter and an intense gaze.
PENUMBRA gathers portraits of animals caught in the partial light—raptors, felines, wild creatures—snatched from night by a beam of light, balancing nobility and mystery. Each work is named after the Latin name of the species, a nod to old naturalist plates. The through-line: a dialogue between the tenebrism of masters and a contemporary gaze, where the painted material enhances and transfigures the printed image.
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.
