{"product_id":"john-wick-in-shadowed-fury","title":"John Wick in Shadowed Fury","description":"\u003cp\u003eOut of near total black, a face resolves. Only the upper half catches light, forehead, brow, the hard line of a stare pulled down and inward. The rest of him dissolves into shadow, as if the darkness itself is holding something back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is John Wick in Shadowed Fury, a portrait built on restraint rather than action. There is no motion here, no weapon, no chase, only the moment before, when a man's fury has already been decided and is simply waiting to be spent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo paint. No print. No ink. The face is scratched into the surface of the acrylic glass, built from controlled scratches, each one a small removal rather than an addition. The image exists because material was taken away, not because anything was laid on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe portrait is always present, in a bright room or a dim one. Light does not create the image. It sharpens it. Under a direct light source the scratches catch and hold, the contrast deepens, and the eyes settle further into the brow, while the piece still reads differently from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room the work reads as a single, monumental face, steady and unmoving. Step closer and that same face breaks into a field of controlled surface damage, fine marks that only resolve into a likeness once you step back again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWick's fury has always been cold rather than loud, a violence trained into stillness. Rendered in a surface that had to be taken apart to hold his likeness, that idea gains another layer: control, here, is also a kind of damage, and damage, worked with intention, becomes structure rather than ruin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Wick in Shadowed Fury continues the Art with Scratch series by Tijs Dragtsma, in which imagery is constructed through controlled surface damage rather than pigment or print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Fury does not need to shout to be seen.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the artist, process and materials can be found on the About page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions about this work, availability or shipping can be sent through the contact page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TD Fine Art Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59336051949893,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/0724\/0005\/files\/John_Wick_in_Shadowed_Fury_thumbnail.jpg?v=1789333684","url":"https:\/\/tdfineartstudio.com\/products\/john-wick-in-shadowed-fury","provider":"TD Fine Art Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
