Patrick Procktor — Gervase IV
Patrick Procktor

Gervase IV

1968

A luminous portrait rendered in Procktor's characteristically fluid and elegant style, capturing the subject with a sense of quiet intimacy and psychological depth. The acrylic medium allows for smooth, flowing passages of colour that define the figure with both precision and dreamlike softness. Procktor's refined aesthetic sensibility is evident in the work's balanced composition and the delicate interplay of light across the canvas.
