Bold and immediate, Emerge Study #2 fuses sweeping gestures with sharp detail, giving the portrait a sense of raw intensity. Layers of acrylic, charcoal, and spray paint animate the face with unexpected bursts of colour, balancing control with spontaneity. Together with Emerge Study #1, it expands Smit’s exploration of portraiture through experimental mark-making.
