Soft Target, oil painting by René Stanger, expressive figurative painting with blurred contours and tense posture, exploring vulnerability, control and mediated imagery.

Soft Target

2025

Oil on primed cardboard

100 × 140 cm

The figure is exposed yet unstable, held within a shallow and pressurized space. 

Edges remain uncertain, as if the image where in the process being fixed. 

The painting stages vulnerability as a condition shaped by observation and control.
