A figure stands in a field of abrasion and light, part apparition, part signal. Primitive Echoes is a painting that feels excavated rather than composed — a face pulled forward from layers of gesture, erasure, and insistence.
The surface is restless. Black, ochre, and acidic yellow collide with chalk-like marks, scratched symbols, and urgent lines that refuse to settle. The figure’s expression sits somewhere between grin and grimace, invitation and warning. Nothing here is decorative. Every mark feels necessary. Every colour feels chosen under pressure.
There is a sense of language half-remembered: symbols that almost form meaning, structures that suggest systems, grids, or diagrams, but never resolve. The body becomes a site of inscription — marked, altered, reworked — as if the painting itself is trying to remember something it can’t fully name.
This is not a portrait. It’s a presence. A signal. A confrontation.
Primitive Echoes works as a statement piece — graphic, bold, and emotionally charged — ideal for collectors drawn to contemporary, expression-led work that lives somewhere between figuration, abstraction, and raw human mark-making.
