WABI SABI 05102023

Sébastien Cheramy's "WABI SABI 05102023" (2023) is a mixed media canvas that works in a lower, more weathered register than its series counterparts. Rendered in ochres, off-whites, and stone greys, the surface is dense but restrained — layered, scraped, overpainted, carrying the physical record of time across its 145 × 130 cm format. A restrained calligraphic hand moves through the composition, marking without claiming.

The title names a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in impermanence. Cheramy enacts this philosophy through process. The painting looks as though it has existed for decades — exposed, eroded, bearing the residue of its own making. Every crack, drip, and erasure is not decorative but essential: the content of the work itself. It belongs to the Wabi Sabi series, where the urban grit of Cheramy's earlier practice finds resolution in stillness.

For collectors drawn to quiet, textured abstraction, "WABI SABI 05102023" represents a mature work that rewards slow looking. Its palette is restrained; its emotional range is not. It sits at the contemplative edge of Cheramy's practice and holds its place without drama.
