Madonna I

Private collection

Ralph D. Woop

2016

A sacred female figure in reduced blue tones. The work reads like an old devotional image, recast as a one-of-a-kind piece. Between graphic precision and atmospheric blur, a work emerges that slows the gaze and invites quiet contemplation. Its effect arises from layering, fragment and suggestion; it is precisely the unfinished quality that gives the work its tension.
