Nightly 2014

Adam Caldwell’s 2014 painting, “Nightly,” is a portrait that utilizes a layered and textured style, hinting at a sense of mystery and depth. The subject’s face is partially obscured by the textured application of paint, creating a sense of intrigue and inviting viewers to contemplate the narrative behind the image. The use of bold brushstrokes and the juxtaposition of dark and light tones contribute to the overall dramatic effect of the work. The prominent red band at the bottom of the painting adds a strong visual element that draws the viewer's eye and contributes to the overall dramatic effect of the work.
