Ready for a Nap

Creator: Gregory Kitterle
Offered by: Arco Gallery

Description
Ready for a Nap by Gregory Kitterle captures the tranquility of a domestic moment with a contemporary take on traditional fresco techniques. The focal point of this intimate composition is a black cat, gracefully poised on a chair draped in soft white cloth. Set against a richly textured terracotta wall, the scene balances warmth and simplicity, while muted green and brown tones in the foreground add depth and subtle contrast. Kitterle's masterful use of fresco enhances the work’s tactile quality, imbuing the surface with a timeless sense of materiality. Perfect for collectors who appreciate modernist influences, the painting recalls the quietude of Giorgio Morandi's still lifes while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility. This piece makes an ideal addition to interiors that blend classic elegance with understated modernity, offering warmth and character with its serene palette and evocative textures.
