About the work:
In this piece entitled Poetry XII, Roger.M delivers a work of rare psychological intensity. This deconstructed portrait, bordering on abstract expressionism and outsider art, instantly captivates the viewer with the power of its gaze. The left eye, imprisoned within a rigid frame and surmounted by dark drips evoking an inner rain or melancholy, contrasts radically with the almond-shaped right eye, open onto an immaculate white. It is the struggle between confinement and hope. A rich mixed-media technique. The background, in shades of pearl grey, beige, and earth, is worked in impasto, creating a mineral skin on the canvas. These scratches and superimposed layers bear witness to the passage of time. This work is not merely to be looked at, it observes us. Poetry XII is a mirror of our own fragilities, carried by a technical mastery that leaves immense room for the spontaneity of the line.
