Man in a Bathtub

About this work

Description A dimensional mixed-media work constructed from layered wood panels. The background surface is built from hand-formed gesso tiles, painted in acrylic to create a worn, tiled interior space. Emerging from the frame, a sculpted wooden bathtub holds an elderly man bathing beside a pig, surrounded by pink soap bubbles. The layered construction pushes the scene outward from the surface, creating a subtle relief that sits between painting and object. The work combines painted illusion with physical structure, blending narrative imagery with tactile materials. Materials Layered wood panel, gesso tiles, acrylic paint.
