Blindness of Beauty

The blindfold covering this figure’s eyes is not a length of fabric: it is a sculpted baroque construction, an accumulation of white volutes, roses and birds that weighs as much as an architecture. The gilded frame spills toward the centre of the canvas, the textured teal ground anchors the composition in a space beyond time. Legac poses a radical question here: if beauty itself decides not to see, what does it see instead? Consented blindness is not a deprivation — it is a form of knowledge. Oil on canvas, 120 × 120 cm, 2025.
