Sidewalker (2025)Acrylic painting
by Newel Hunter

“Sidewalker” presents a striking silhouette of a solitary figure standing in profile, rendered predominantly in dark tones against a textured, lighter background. The figure's form is composed with a fragmented, almost collage-like technique, where sections appear layered or torn, creating a sense of depth and complexity within the otherwise stark shape. The contrast between the solid black figure and the rough, tactile background adds strong visual tension and evokes a mood of contemplation or solitude. There is a poetic quality in the rough edges and layered elements that suggests themes of identity, memory, or fragmentation, offering many layers of interpretation. The piece could be seen as a striking portrait and narrative reflecting the homeless occupants of sidewalks and back alleys in cities everywhere.

Sidewalker is painted with acrylic on an 16 x 20 x .25 inch canvas panel, ready to frame. It comes carefully packaged and shipped in a double thick cardboard box for maximum protection. Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
