Sleek is a striking portrait of a black Scottish Terrier, its piercing brown eyes gazing directly ahead with an air of quiet confidence. The sharp details of its wiry fur, highlighted with subtle strokes of white and grey, create depth and texture, bringing the subject to life. The dog's erect ears and poised expression exude intelligence and alertness, capturing the essence of a watchful presence.
The dark background enhances the contrast against the dog’s fur, as if it has just returned from the barbers. A dimly lit vanity mirror with round bulbs reflects a muted glow, adding a surreal, almost theatrical atmosphere to the piece.
Painted on an authentic prison fire blanket, this work is layered with meaning—representing resilience, adaptation, and the ability to find beauty in the most confined places. The prison label attached to the stretcher bars reinforces the raw authenticity of the piece, grounding it in its origins.
