Gabriel Hartley — Nose
Gabriel Hartley

Nose

A visceral and expressive composition, Gabriel Hartley's *Nose* combines oil and spray paint on canvas to create a dynamic interplay of gesture and texture. The work reflects Hartley's signature approach of merging controlled painterly marks with the raw, spontaneous quality of spray paint, resulting in a tension between precision and accident. The piece occupies a compelling space between abstraction and figuration, inviting the viewer to navigate its layered surfaces and shifting forms.
