Obsidian Arch & Scarlet Sole: An Impasto Study

from £36.00

This provocative work captures the visceral power of the stiletto through a lens of raw, textured abstraction. The focus is not just on the shoe, but on the stark architectural curve of the arched foot, emphasized by the sharp, dark seam of sheer hosiery. The iconic scarlet under-sole acts as a focal point of forbidden luxury, emerging from a chaotic backdrop of slate blues and bone whites.

By utilizing heavy impasto strokes, the painting mimics the physical sensation of leather, skin, and cold steel. It celebrates the deliberate height and the precarious elegance of the heel, turning a fashion icon into a monument of dominance and desire. This is a tribute to the "click" of the heel and the unmistakable silhouette of a high-arched foot in its most powerful form.
