Drinking La Croix on the Floor presents an intimate, quietly humorous scene rendered in Rebecca Ness's characteristically flat, graphic gouache style. Working on a modest sheet of paper measuring just 26.7 × 20.3 cm, Ness distills an everyday domestic moment into something both familiar and strangely ceremonial. Her signature palette and bold compositional choices compress space and flatten perspective, giving ordinary life the visual weight of a tableau. The result is a work that feels simultaneously deadpan and warmly affectionate toward its subject matter. Ness has built a devoted following for her ability to locate the absurd comedy and genuine tenderness embedded in scenes of contemporary leisure and mundane ritual. A can of sparkling water on the floor becomes, in her hands, a kind of still life for the millennial condition, a monument to the casual, the unglamorous, and the oddly comforting. Gouache suits her sensibility perfectly, its opaque, matte surface lending scenes a graphic immediacy that resists sentimentality while remaining deeply inviting. Signed by the artist and available through Hashimoto Contemporary, this 2019 work is a strong example of Ness at a pivotal moment in her development. At a compact scale that rewards close looking, it offers collectors an accessible entry point into a body of work that has garnered significant critical attention. Works of this character and condition at this size are increasingly difficult to source from the artist's earlier output, making this a genuinely timely opportunity.
