Green Trio
2019
A dynamic, richly green-toned figurative scene depicting three figures in an interior: one seated at a laptop, one with blond curly hair in a black sweater and jeans appearing to recoil or dance, and a large looming shadowy figure rising dramatically behind them. The composition draws on expressive brushwork with a dominant emerald palette, evoking both intimacy and psychological tension. Painted in oil on panel, this compact work exemplifies Toor's signature blending of narrative ambiguity, queer identity, and art-historical reference. At 20 × 16 inches it is an intimate yet visually commanding piece.
