Acrylic on panel, 2013, 130×180 cm (71x 79 in)
A drive-in theatre where we see Natalie Portman in ‘Closer’ from a far. Apart from the genius play of words in the title, this piece is absolutely mesmerising through the luminous, contrasting colors that create a striking juxtaposition, adding a mystic, almost dreamlike quality. Reminiscent of retro 3D glasses, the palette also enhances the cinematic theme, making the scene feel both nostalgic and otherworldly. With her piercing stare, the character captivates the viewer, ensuring you can’t pass this piece without being drawn in.
