A luminous and gestural painting rendered in acrylic on canvas, *Rufus* showcases Katy Moran's signature approach of layering loose, expressive brushwork to conjure a fragmented yet intimate portrait. Soft, hazy passages of color blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, inviting the viewer to piece together a fleeting sense of personality and presence. The work captures Moran's ability to evoke emotional depth through restraint, leaving much to the imagination while feeling quietly, compellingly alive.
