After Rehearsal
Original Pastel on Premium Stretched Canvas
Size: 20x24 inches
Artist: Brandon Gastinell
"After Rehearsal" is a striking continuation of Brandon Gastinell’s Black Male Ballerina Series, a powerful exploration of strength, grace, and resilience in the world of dance. This one-of-a-kind piece, part of the Sunset Collection, captures a black male ballerina in a moment of quiet reflection after practice, rendered in delicate yet vibrant pastels.
The carefully selected background color, named Sunset, brings warmth and depth to the composition, juxtaposing the ballerina's poised figure with the soothing energy of the sky at dusk. Created in Brandon's Los Angeles art studio, this work invites you to witness the beauty of the human form and the emotional weight carried by the dancer.
Each stroke with premium pastels has been thoughtfully applied, bringing texture and movement to the canvas, while remaining sensitive to touch. The entire piece, ready to hang with no framing required, reflects Brandon's mastery in capturing the nuances of human expression and physicality, while continuing his focus on underrepresented figures in classical art.
