About the Item
"Fading into Stone 1", original, unique painting, 80x60cm / 27.5x23.5in
Shipped stretched ready for display.
“Fading into Stone 1” presents a striking fusion of sculpture and interior space, creating a surreal and evocative composition. The central figure—a classical-style bust of a woman—appears suspended in mid-air, seamlessly blending into the plush red armchair beneath her. Her expression is melancholic, with large, deeply outlined eyes that suggest introspection or sorrow. The way her shoulders dissolve into the armchair reinforces the surreal transformation, as if she is either emerging from or being consumed by the furniture.
The background is rich with vertical drapery in deep reds, browns, and blacks, adding a dramatic theatricality. The left side of the painting is more abstract, with blended washes of peach, pink, and blue that contrast with the bold, defined strokes on the right. The brushwork is loose yet intentional, with visible strokes that enhance the painterly quality. The chair’s luxurious red upholstery, with deep shadows and expressive lines, creates a strong contrast to the pale, stone-like texture of the bust.
The interplay between sculpture and the domestic interior is reminiscent of surrealist influences, recalling artists like Giorgio de Chirico or René Magritte. The transformation of a human form into an inanimate bust evokes themes of time, memory, and metamorphosis.
"Fading into Stone" perfectly captures the slow transformation and melancholic stillness of the figure. It suggests a passage of time, a gradual loss of vitality, and a blending between the human and the inanimate. The title also leaves room for interpretation—whether it's about emotional detachment, a surreal metamorphosis, or even a symbolic commentary on identity and change.
