Nicholas Alan Cope, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a close-up shot of a person with their eyes closed, captured in a dramatic and sculptural composition. Two hands enter the frame from above and the side, pressing and manipulating the skin of the subject's face with intimate precision. The lighting is low-key and directional, casting deep shadows that accentuate the contours of the face, cheekbones, and hands. The stark contrast against a pitch-black background enhances the intense, artistic mood of the piece. The overall finish is raw and tactile, highlighting skin texture and the interplay of touch.
