Izakaya II

£85.00

Izakaya II – Original - (2025)

Materials: Oil on wood

Dimensions: 12 × 12 inches (30 × 30 cm).

Inspired by a late-night scene inside a Japanese izakaya, this study captures the quiet glow, intimate atmosphere and layered reflections of a space winding down at the end of the day. Created during my 5 paintings in 5 days challenge — and painted in acrylic gouache as a deliberate departure from my usual oils — it explores looseness, simplicity, and finding character through suggestion rather than detail. This is a quick study perhaps for a larger piece down the line.
