Self-Portrait

Not for sale

Ralph D. Woop

2014

A self-referential portrait with a raw, graphic effect. The work shows identity not as smooth but as material trace and fragment. The characteristic blue creates distance and calm; the image appears less as a mere depiction than as the trace of a past scene. The gaze and posture of the figure condense into a quiet counterpart that creates closeness and distance at once.
