“Red 40” is a bold and visceral portrait of introspection, rendered with raw energy and striking simplicity. A single figure, drawn in vivid red and outlined with loose, expressive black lines, sits curled inward—both physically and emotionally contained. The white background amplifies the intensity of the form, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on posture, line, and emotion. The quick, almost frenetic marks give the piece urgency, yet its composition remains centred and grounded. This work speaks powerfully to solitude, embodiment, and the emotional weight of stillness.
