Laurie Bartley, London

About

This portrait by Laurie Bartley features a Black man with pink-dyed dreadlocks reflected in a condensation-covered mirror. His hands, with bright pink-painted fingernails and rings, are pressed against the glass surface in the foreground, framing the direct, serious gaze of his face. The misty, humid environment creates a soft blur across the background tiles while water droplets trace paths down the mirror. The composition emphasizes intimacy and texture through the contrast of damp glass, skin, and vivid hair color.
