Hennessy by MADSAKI Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Acrylic Paint, Aerosol on Canvas Dimensions: 170 x 145 cm Year: 2018 Price on request Status: available - Direct from Perrotin New York - Acquired from Curator Style Hong Kong Why collect this work?A nude figure’s radically simplified face interrupts an otherwise crowded interior, making anonymity, rather than exposure, the painting’s central tension. MADSAKI’s broader use of familiar imagery helps frame the scene as a translation through his graphic vocabulary, although its precise visual source is not identified in the supplied record.In the photograph, dark outlines organize flowers, furniture, roof beams, a patterned robe, and a bottle held at the figure’s waist. Against this detail, two eyes and a curved smile make the frontal body appear both candid and withheld.The catalogue records acrylic paint and aerosol on canvas. Here, those media support shifts between broad colour, emphatic contour, and scattered drips or streaks, though the photograph cannot establish their physical texture.Dated 2018 and measuring 170 by 145 cm, Hennessy provides a focused case for considering how caricature can complicate the conventions of the domestic nude by separating bodily visibility from personal identity.
