Executed in oil on a handmade birchwood panel, the composition is tightly cropped to emphasize gesture and touch—the stretching of skin, the delicate control of the razor, the quiet choreography of two bodies in proximity. The brushwork remains loose and responsive, echoing the painter’s sensitivity to surface and form, while the subdued palette reinforces the atmosphere of calm concentration. This work continues Lester’s engagement with traditional painterly language to explore contemporary narratives of intimacy and presence.
