Bedside Lamp, 2025, oil on canvas, 92 x 51.25 cm
I've always responded to paintings that have a sense of privacy, intimacy or secrecy. This painting is mainly about the light from the lamp, but because it's a bedroom setting (the white sheets of the bed are barely visible at the bottom left) it might suggest an atmosphere of privacy and intimacy. Hopefully there is a sense that such a fragment of a room can suggest an entire room in one's mind.
Perhaps you could say there is a Japanese formality about the composition with its geometrical structure. I've always liked that aspect of Japanese design.
