Silent Conversations

A woman and a man, painted almost entirely in greys. She is in front with her eyes lowered, her face the palest thing in the picture; he leans in behind her, his head bent close to hers. Gold necklaces and a few marks of red are the only warm colour. Around them the paint breaks into loose blue and white strokes, so the figures seem to emerge from the background. The title points to what passes between them without words.
