Black and Gold Portrait Painting, Original Ink Acrylic Metal Leaf Art, 24x36
Arrogance is an original black and gold portrait painting by independent artist Markus Lewis, made in ink, acrylic, and real metal leaf. A young man tilts his chin up with his eyes half closed, because that’s what arrogance looks like to the artist: not loud, but quiet. It’s the chin you raise when you know you’re being looked at. You put the chin up and you put the gold leaf on.
The gold is real metal leaf, and it cracks and tarnishes, and the artist lets it. Across the top, white asemic writing falls down the dark ground like voices, all the things people say to help. In the middle of it is just his face, pretending he doesn’t hear any of it. That’s pride.
The painting suits modern maximalist rooms, black and white interiors, and dark walls, and it would look just as strong on a white wall. The paint runs to a clean edge, with no frame and nothing to hide behind. The sides are painted too, so this original art is ready to hang.
The piece measures 24" x 36" x 1.5" on gallery-wrapped canvas, in ink, acrylic, and metal leaf. It is a one-of-a-kind original, not a print, and it is sold without a frame.
