Large Scale Original Acrylic Painting by Rakan Isbury

Item # RISBSAN

Sold Framed: approx. 80cm w X 125cm h

In this painting, Rakan Isbury explores allure through the enigmatic figure of a woman poised on the edge of nocturnal revelry. Her bare shoulders and arms reveal a vulnerability beneath the carefully curated glamour of her heavy makeup, suggesting that beauty is as much a performance as it is an authentic expression of self. This work is an invitation to contemplate the delicate balance between the public persona we present and the private emotions we conceal. 

The composition captures her in a sideways pose—a deliberate choice that invites the viewer to consider multiple perspectives of observation. Though her face is turned toward us, her closed eyes evoke a sense of inner reflection and mystery, as if she is momentarily detached from the external world while still inviting our gaze. The wisps of cigarette smoke emerging towards the viewer serve as a metaphor for ephemeral moments of clarity and the transient nature of pleasure, leaving behind a trail of memories and unspoken narratives.
