This framed pairing brings together two works on paper by Vincent Lantzy, presented as a unified composition. Anchoring the pair is Dollar (2023), a watercolor, marker, and ink portrait in which a female figure emerges through spontaneous gestures and layered washes—simultaneously abstracted and iconic. The work subtly engages themes of value, identity, and objectification, while resisting fixed interpretation in favor of intimacy and psychological presence.
Accompanying Dollar is a 14 × 11 inch ink drawing that distills Lantzy’s figurative language to its most direct form. Executed with confident, continuous lines, the drawing emphasizes gesture, character, and emotional immediacy. Stripped of color, it offers a counterpoint to Dollar’s tonal complexity, foregrounding restraint and economy of means.
Together, the works function as a dialogue between mark and wash, precision and looseness, image and suggestion. Unified within a single frame, the pairing underscores Lantzy’s ability to communicate presence through minimal yet charged visual language, positioning the work as both intimate and resolved as a complete presentation.
