A partially nude couple occupies a cozy bedroom interior in this intimate pencil-on-paper work from 2006, offering an early glimpse into the figurative sensibility that would come to define Matt Bollinger's practice. The kimono of the title anchors the composition with a quiet specificity, drawing attention to the textures and rituals of domestic life rather than dramatizing the human figures themselves. Bollinger's draftsmanship here is assured for a young artist in his mid-twenties, balancing observed detail with a warmth that keeps the scene from feeling clinical or detached. Bollinger, an American artist born in 1980, has since gained significant recognition for his depictions of ordinary people and everyday environments rendered with empathy and formal intelligence. This small sheet, measuring just over 20 by 24 centimeters, demonstrates the understated intimacy that would become central to his later paintings and works on paper. The modest scale and the directness of the pencil medium suit the subject perfectly, lending the work a confessional quality without overstating it. Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse, the work is well-documented and represents a meaningful point of entry for collectors interested in Bollinger's development as a figurative artist. Early works on paper by painters who go on to establish sustained critical careers carry a particular appeal, and this piece is no exception. It is currently available through Jarrett McCusker.
