Dude III (2025)
Sold
Oil on Canvas
50 x 50 cm.
Dude III (2025) depicts a frontal, slightly stooped male figure set against an intense, monochrome yellow background. With his hands hidden behind his back and his head lowered, the figure adopts a closed and introspective posture marked by resignation and quiet gravity.
The soft, almost dissolving brushwork of the body contrasts sharply with the flat, saturated background, which forces the figure forward into the pictorial space. The body appears both physically heavy and psychologically fragile, suspended in a moment of stillness.
The painting explores vulnerability, self-awareness, and existential isolation, firmly situating the work within Michael Kvium’s ongoing examination of the inner tensions of contemporary human existence.
