The Scarlet Stiletto: An Impasto Study of Desire

from £36.00

This is a striking, expressionistic oil painting executed with a heavy impasto technique, highlighting the texture and materiality of the paint. The central subject is a dramatically stylized high-heeled shoe (stiletto). The upper of the shoe is rendered in glossy, deep black, contrasting sharply with the thick, vibrant scarlet red of the platform and sole. The background is a dense field of textured white and pale grey/pink, allowing the shoe to pop forward. The artwork conveys a mood of high fashion, boldness, and sensual energy, emphasized by the deliberate drips of red and black paint trailing down from the heel, lending an edgy, almost raw vitality to the piece
