Description from the seller
Leandro Olano
Double Look, 2026
Oil on canvas
40 × 24 cm
Signed
Original unique work, entirely handmade
Comes with the artist's certificate of authenticity
Shipped without stretcher (rolled for controlled transport) for maximum safety in transit
The narrow vertical composition confronts the viewer with two overlapping looks: that of a human figure in the upper third and that of a black cat in the lower one. The human face is built through planes of saturated color (reds, blues, greens, oranges, and violets) that fragment the anatomy without realistic modeling. The eyes, wide and open, look straight ahead with intensity. Below, the black cat occupies almost half of the lower part of the canvas; its fur absorbs light and is only broken by the yellow-amber, vertical and fixed eyes, and the whiskers crossing the pictorial space.
The technique is thick impasto and gestural brushwork. The contrast between the aggressive polychromy of the human face and the dark mass of the animal creates a clear tension: two presences that do not look at each other, but look at the viewer simultaneously and insistently.
Oil on canvas, 40 × 24 cm, 2026.
Narrow vertical format
Signature + certificate of authenticity.
Shipping without stretcher: a practical and correct decision for protection.
Contemporary figuration rooted in expressionist-Fauvist origins. Color does not describe; it imposes. The anatomy is subordinated to the force of color and to the material. The cat functions as a dark anchor and as a second protagonist, not as a decorative accessory. There is an evident debt to the pure color painting of Fauvism and to a certain contemporary expressive figuration that seeks immediate emotional impact.
