About the Item

Pieta, 2019 Oil on Panel with Dutch Ripple Frame, 9 x 12 inches A whispering portrayal of spiritual sorrow, Justas Varpucanskis’s “Pieta” presents an illumination of soft beauty, revealing optical greys through a sensitive use of glazing and scumbling. The pyramidal composition, elegantly framed in a lush black Dutch ripple frame, creates a tone of ghostly tenderness and intrigue. The dreamy, nostalgic quality of the work is imbued with atmospheric light, casting an eerie glow on the figures. Soft, blurred contours and rich, muted colors blend in subtle atmospheric transitions, evoking a laconic air. Varpucanskis’s minute brushwork and delicate layering of paint create an apparitional visual setting, offering a restrained and poetically austere image.
