All auctions / Contemporary Art / Yannick Leniger - Smokey Eyes - XXL
A hypnotic focal point – Powerful modernity meets expressive portraiture. Dive into the fascinating world of contemporary portrait painting with this monumental artwork measuring 160 x 100 cm, titled “Smokey Eyes.” The piece captivates with its intense aura, where the richly worked facial expression and the distinctive, named “Smokey Eyes” of the subject immediately draw all eyes. The contrast between the almost photorealistic or classically styled face and the expressive, vibrant background makes this work an absolute statement piece for modern living spaces, lofts, or representative business interiors. Product details: Handcrafted one-of-a-kind work by the artist and signed on the back. Certificate of authenticity Title: “Smokey Eyes” Dimensions: 160 cm x 100 cm x approx. 4 cm (large format / oversized) Technique: High-quality mixed media (Mixed Media) using the finest oil, acrylic, and spray paint on premium artist canvas. Condition: As new, directly from the artist’s studio. Framing: Stretched on a primed canvas stretcher (gallery-quality, edges painted, ready to hang). About the technique & quality: For this work, only premium artist colors were used. The combination of traditional oil paint for smooth transitions, lightfast acrylics for luminous textures, and urban spray paint elements creates a distinctive depth and a modern street-art note that fuse perfectly. Hand-painted original from the artist Yannick Leniger’s aesthetic series. From 2003, Yannick Leniger started graffiti painting and gained experience in handling spray cans and the textures of various surfaces during nocturnal actions. 2010 marked the beginning of Leniger’s characteristic works from the flowering series, which have enjoyed great popularity. By combining spray cans with acrylics, Leniger developed various techniques that yield unique effects in the works. These mixed techniques are also found in Leniger’s current works. Influenced by artists such as Christiaan Lieverse and Pier Toffoletti, the current pieces depict people who are developed in connection with texture-creating means. In several steps, parts are masked, revised, and highlighted. In the years 2019 to 2022, Yannick Leniger was a member and treasurer of Kunstforderer e.V. in Unna and supported the association in a variety of creative projects with children and young people, schools, and after-school programs. Since 2023, Yannick Leniger has been the first chairman of Kunstforderer e.V. in Unna.
