Leopard's Eye
REF:OB1289 - Portrait by SJSA, completed in early 2025, is a masterful "chromatic deconstruction" of a leopard’s intensity. Rather than relying on a traditional feline palette, the artist employs a bold aesthetic that breaks the animal's features into distinct "islands of high-contrast color." Electric blues and cool teals define the shadows of the snout and jaw, providing a striking foundation for the "warm bursts" of tangerine, ochre, and crimson that dance across the forehead and ears. The leopard's gaze is the undeniable focal point—two piercing, crystalline eyes that seem to hold the "dual energy" of a neon cityscape and the silent predator's vigil. Long, sweeping strokes of white and deep navy form the whiskers, cutting through the dense "mosaic of pigment" to add a sense of kinetic movement. This 2025 piece showcases SLSA’s ability to turn a classic wildlife subject into a vibrant, rhythmic exploration of light and form. Current Price for this marvel is a subtle R125 000.00.

Eternity
REF:OB12987 - Anon1297—a reclusive yet highly coveted global traveler—captures the shifting moods of the South of France. Moving away from figurative subjects, this work explores a "fluid, geological landscape" of contrasting textures. Completed in early 2010, the composition is dominated by a sweeping "river of charcoal and slate," where liquid-like ripples of black and grey evoke the dark, limestone depths of a hidden Provençal grotto. This monochromatic foundation is fractured by "tectonic shifts" of shimmering gold leaf, echoing the Mediterranean sun striking rugged cliffside faces. In the lower-left corner, a "mist of frosted silver" introduces an ethereal quality, balancing the heavy, molten energy of the darker pigments. The piece feels like a captured moment of alchemy, where the "raw and the refined" collide in a silent, high-contrast dance of light and shadow—a signature of Anon1297’s world-weary and sophisticated eye. Current Price for this very high end piece is a very generous amount of R250 000.00. Enquire for information on purchasing.
