2000
A monumental figurative painting rendered in Joffe's characteristically loose, expressive brushwork, depicting human forms that take on the weight and stillness of sculpted monuments. The oil on MDF support lends the work a raw, unyielding quality that echoes the solidity of its subject, while Joffe's fluid, gestural marks breathe life and vulnerability into the rigid poses. The tension between movement and stasis, flesh and stone, creates a meditation on how bodies are perceived, idealized, and frozen in time.
