Description from the seller
With Gas Mask #8, HugPat signs a powerful, immediate, almost cinematic work. On a square format 100 x 100 cm, the artist composes the frontal portrait of a man with a fixed gaze, masked, as if suspended in an unsettling atmosphere, at the boundary between contemporary tension, urban dystopia and collective memory.
The painting stands out for a gestural and high-contrast technique, dominated by shades of black, gray and white, with blur and speed effects that traverse the face, like an image captured in motion or altered by time. This treatment gives the work a particular strength: the realism of the gaze dialogues with a rougher, more instinctive material, which creates an immediate emotion.
The whole is presented in an elegant black American-style wood frame (wood frame), for a total format of 104 x 104 cm.
The work is sold with its certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
A strong, contemporary piece, ideal for a demanding collection seeking a striking figurative work, with an identifiable signature and a real wall presence.
