Oil on canvas
16 x 20 inches
A striking portrait of model Matthew Lister rendered against a muted green field, “Matt #2” transforms a familiar likeness into something quietly otherworldly.
The figure’s blue skin—cool, tactile, and deliberately unembellished—illuminates subtle planes of light and shadow, while the restrained background lets every brushstroke on the face and hands register with clarity.
Compositionally intimate and formally disciplined, the painting balances realism with an evocative shift in palette that invites close study: a meditation on presence, hue, and the ways color can alter emotional perception.
