Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Rune Hugo, the Danish subject, is lovingly known by some expat friends as ‘The Great Dane’, which quickly became shortened to The Great. The Danish flag painted on the edges of the canvas is a less than subtle nod to Hugo’s nordic roots and provides a bold, graphic contrast to the stark setting of the painting. Peering into the light, with a look of determination, Hugo looks as if ready to set off on an exploration.
