Digital study, 7 January 2026
Pieter Lategan
Pretoria, South Africa
This digital study forms part of an ongoing body of work focused on restraint, weight, and inward presence.
The figure is seated and inward-turned, structured through compression of the spine, pelvis, and shoulders. Gesture is withheld. Expression is restrained. The work is concerned with posture and mass rather than narrative or symbolism.
Colour is used tonally and structurally, not decoratively. Muted earth tones establish gravity and containment. Light is soft and diffused, eliminating drama or theatrical emphasis.
This study is intended as a direct foundation for translation into oil paint. Further resolution will occur through material process rather than conceptual expansion.
