Penumbra, Gabriel Broady, 2026, painting, 20 x 16 in. / 50.8 x 40.64 cm.

Penumbra, 2026, oil on canvas, 16 × 20 in. Half the face catches the light; the other half belongs to the dark. Painted in warm golds and deep umbers, Penumbra holds the space between full light and full shadow, the line between the self we show and the self we keep. Neither half looks away.
