ABOUT THE WORK

With loose curls, parted lips, and a hand drawn to his chest, The King in the North is a portrait of masculine sensuality in disarray. The figure slouches slightly, not in weakness, but in a kind of dazed vulnerability—caught between assertion and collapse. His eyes meet the viewer with a gaze that feels more like a question than a claim.

What sets this portrait apart is its unvarnished detail: the mess of body hair, the partially visible pubic hair, the slack cloth barely clinging to his hips. These elements are not incidental, but integral. They strip away the polished myth of manhood to reveal something more immediate, more human. This is not a figure posed for conquest, but for feeling. The body, though strong, seems to soften under its own intimacy—a quiet, erotic honesty rendered with warmth, defiance, and grace.

ARTWORK FORMAT AND MATERIALS

Each fine art print is produced on Hahnemühle Baryta Rag — a museum-grade, 100% cotton archival paper renowned for its luxurious surface and luminous detail. Prints are surrounded by a 1.5 inch white border and are hand-signed and editioned by the artist. Works are shipped unframed to ensure preservation and collector flexibility.
