Le Yack - A Coastal Elegy - Technique mixte sur toile

Blue night on a Mediterranean cliff, star-filled sky and a purplish band of sunset on the horizon. From behind, a red-haired woman with a low bun wears a long water-green silk backless dress and a light scarf lifted by the wind; one hand resting on the roof of a garnet coupé with spoke wheels, she looks toward a lighthouse whose beam traces a long white streak on the water. Below, amber lights of a village perched on the coast. Semantically, the painting is built on a cross of lights: the lighthouse horizontal, the stars vertical, the red lights of the car in the foreground — three ways of signaling a presence in the dark. The water-green of the dress, the only cool and pale color, isolates the figure from the night blue. Supple finish, impasto in the sky and the scarf, tenebrism softened.
