An older fisherman sits with a length of net gathered in his lap, his gaze lifted somewhere past the frame while his hands stay occupied with the knots in front of him, loose strokes of blue and violet moving behind him like unsettled weather. Leakh turns its attention to the labour that happened before any boat left shore the quiet, repetitive work of preparing gear that rarely gets painted on its own. It sits well within a photo art gallery built around the overlooked routines of Emirati coastal life.
Painted in oil on canvas, the work sets a closely observed figure and net against a loosely brushed, weather-like background.
The canvas measures 18 x 25 inches, matching the scale of its companion pieces in the Sons of the Sea collection.
Hand-painted and signed by the artist, with a Certificate of Authenticity included, it is a one-of-a-kind piece available as original art for sale online.
Part of the Sons of the Sea collection, Leakh gives weight to preparation rather than the catch itself, a form of labour easy to overlook and harder to sustain. Those drawn to work of this kind are welcome to explore commission artwork options within the same collection.
