Fabric and plaster on canvas24 x 24 inchesFramed. In Eloquence (2026), Studio 198 presents a materially driven composition that explores surface, texture, and the transformation of everyday elements into structured form. Combining fabric and plaster, the work shifts painting into the realm of object—where the canvas becomes a site of construction rather than depiction. Drawing influence from Piero Manzoni, the piece embraces reduction and material presence. The surface is built through layered folds and embedded textures, creating a rhythmic relief that captures light and shadow in subtle, shifting ways. What appears minimal at a distance reveals a complex topography upon closer inspection. At 24 x 24 inches, the square format reinforces balance and containment. The work holds a quiet but assertive presence, engaging the surrounding space through its tactile surface and tonal restraint. This is a one-off original. There are no editions. Created for collectors who value conceptual clarity and material exploration, eloquence invites a slower reading—where texture replaces image and surface becomes subject. A work of material. A work of structure.
