A gouache and charcoal painting of a terrified 20-something man with deep brown skin and grey hair in an early 1900s subway car, holding a broken lantern.

A physically painted gouache and charcoal artwork captures the macabre terror of the Grand Guignol theatre inside a wooden subway car. Hard studio lighting and the harsh, high-contrast tones of orthochromatic nitrate film enhance the visceral, textured dread.
