unfixed (2026) Original Charcoal Drawing by Denny Stoekenbroek
32.5 x 50 x 1cm (unframed) / 31 x 48cm (actual image size)
£302.89
Original artwork description
A delicate yet assertive charcoal portrait that explores identity in flux. The subject emerges from soft gradients and deep shadows, partially obscured by restless, gestural hair that disrupts the clarity of form. The upward tilt of the head suggests both vulnerability and quiet confidence, as if caught in a moment of transformation rather than resolution.
Executed entirely in charcoal, the work balances precision with rawness—smooth tonal transitions contrast with loose, almost volatile marks. The absence of color amplifies the emotional nuance, allowing light and shadow to define presence, absence, and everything in between.
This piece reflects a state of becoming—where identity is not fixed, but continuously shaped by movement, perception, and time.
