His frequent use of carborundum — pigment combined with granular material — produces surfaces of remarkable depth, lending his paintings an almost sculptural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"1067\"\u003eHere, figures seem to coalesce within a glowing, ember-like background, their forms partially dissolved into textured fields of pigment and grit. Black linear gestures define faces and bodies while allowing them to remain fluid, suggesting movement, heat and ceremonial intensity rather than fixed portraiture. The result feels less like a depiction and more like a memory or echo of collective movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003eThough modest in scale, the painting carries strong visual impact, functioning equally well as a standalone work or as part of a larger grouping.
