Still Gaze | Portraiture

Still Gaze presents a modern profile as a quiet emblem of poise—one face distilled into essential curves, where expression is carried by the smallest shifts in line. The composition holds a deliberate stillness, turning a glance and a silhouette into a timeless study of presence.

In metal, the portrait is translated through confident, continuous pathways and carefully preserved negative space. The overlapping contours create depth without shading, while the floating offset lets the facial lines cast a secondary drawing in shadow, sharpening the features and amplifying the sculptural clarity.

Curator’s Note: Single-line portraiture rose to prominence in modern drawing as a way to preserve gesture and immediacy, using uninterrupted contour to prioritize mood over literal detail.
