Guise

The monochromatic palette of Guise, created by Sammie Kyng, is a truly remarkable black and white drip painting of a young girl’s face.

 

The bold paint splashes across the canvas creates a powerful visual impact, while the carefully crafted composition draws the viewer in and holds their attention.
The use of drips and splatters adds texture and movement to the painting, suggesting a dynamic energy that pulsates beneath the surface.

At the same time, the delicate treatment and subtle details of the face itself conveys a sense of introspection and vulnerability.

Overall, this piece is a stunning example of contemporary art that blends boldness with nuance, rawness with refinement, and emotion with intellect.
