J'Adoube VI – The King

The King is the most protected piece on the board — and the most vulnerable. J'Adoube VI – The King closes the series in warm rose, coral and teal, white trails dissolving into light across a ground of extraordinary warmth and complexity. It is the most luminous work in the series, and the most surprising.

And yet the panther is inverted here — the King seen from below, from a position of uncertainty. The most powerful piece on the board is never truly safe. J'Adoube: I adjust. Even kings must.

Part of the J'Adoube series — one painting in six states, moving from dark to light. Each work contains a hidden abstract panther, alternating in orientation across the series. The collector who arranges the works controls the narrative.
