Portrait – Commissioned Work

Private collection

Ralph D. Woop

2013

An individual portrait as a commissioned work. The reduced blue tonality gives the face a timeless, archival quality. The blue tonality opens an interval between present and memory, making the motif feel like a find from a private image archive. The gaze and posture of the figure condense into a quiet counterpart that creates closeness and distance at once.
