Acrylic and poster paint on paper. A study of velocity, weather and the colour green, executed in a single afternoon and without reference.
Bars use a logarithmic scale; on a linear one, every work below the top three would be invisible. Prices for Lots 001 to 003 are asking, not realised.

Lot 001 established the artist's ceiling. Lot 002 contains a car, and the gallery has priced accordingly.
The sky arrives first and takes the upper half entirely — scraped, swirled, and worked back into itself until the brush begins to lift the paint it has already laid down. Beneath it the vehicle sits low and wide in olive and black, its two windows filled with vertical green strokes that the artist has confirmed are trees, seen while moving. The road, such as it is, is indicated at the foot of the sheet in six decisive grey marks. The work was completed in a single session. The artist declined to add wheels, on the grounds that it was going too fast for them to be visible.
“There are two windows and both of them have grass in them. I did that.”The artist
“It’s a car. You can tell because of the boom.”The artist’s younger sibling
“He has entered his blue period. It began on Tuesday and is ongoing.”Studio representative
This is to certify that the work described above is an original, unique and wholly unrepeatable creation of the artist; that no study, copy or second attempt exists; and that the artist, asked directly and more than once, confirmed that it is a sportscar.
Born in 2020, the artist works at speed from a home studio and paints with both hands, occasionally at the same time. Where Lot 001 was a field of pure colour, Lot 002 marks his first turn toward the observed world — specifically, toward cars. His representatives expect this to continue for some time.
