SMILING MAN

Smiling Man by Paul Cavilla, oil on canvas

Oil on canvas | 74 × 48 cm

“Life is good.”

In Smiling Man, Cavilla brings an elongated face and an oversized hand into close focus, the fingers cradling the cheeks around a small, toothy smile. Olive greens, ochres and earthy reds merge across the heavily worked features, set against a luminous yellow-orange ground. The uneven eyes and gently tilted head lend the figure an intimate, quietly amused presence.
