The artist sits among a semi-natural rock garden imagined within an impressionistic landscape. Patches of swift brushstrokes give the painting the dynamism and mood of Cezanne’s many rendering of Mt. Saint Victoire. The figure pops in the foreground with hard, distinct lines against the hazy, almost pastel, palette in the background. The graffiti that adorns these rocks are markedly anti-naturalistic, bringing together the determinate figure and his interminable environs.
