Nude Shade No.113 – Gloss and Gaze

Nude Shade No.113 – Gloss and Gaze is a black-and-white interior portrait built around texture, contrast, and a direct, unguarded look. The figure reclines on a leather sofa, partially wrapped in a dark jacket, holding an open magazine as if caught between reading and observation. Window light enters from the left, carving the face and shoulders while the deeper shadows of the room emphasize the tactile surface of leather, fabric, and skin.

The composition is compact and deliberate: a square frame, a strong diagonal through the legs and magazine, and a calm balance between glossy highlights and soft mid-tones. The mood is intimate yet controlled—more about atmosphere and presence than narrative—where the gaze becomes the central anchor of the image.

This artwork is available as a limited edition fine art print. Prints are produced using museum-quality archival pigment printing on carefully selected fine art paper, signed and numbered by the artist, and prepared for long-term preservation.
