PoolROoms - Alice Ruja

A gaunt standing figure emerges from bare pale grey paper, drawn in scratchy charcoal and pencil strokes. Long light hair streaked with orange frames a face with dark hollow eyes. Across the torso and hips a vivid pink patch reads like a swimsuit, the only strong colour in the sheet. The thin legs dissolve into loose scribble at the lower edge.

Created by Romanian visual artist Alice Ruja, whose graphic techniques turn inner experience into expressionistic imagery. The title nods to the internet poolroom aesthetic of empty tiled water spaces, yet here the background is stripped away and the figure alone is left to be observed. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
