About the artwork

Round Midnight is a saxophone player worked in acrylic and collage on paper, and it carries the gritty feel of a late jazz set. The musician wears a pale hat, head bowed over the horn, his shirt and jacket built up in slashing strokes of blue, white and red. Mikora lays the figure over a collage of sheet music and printed text, with the word "RELAX" running boldly in red down the right edge.

The palette is moody but sharp, deep reds clashing with cool greys and charcoal, and bits of notation and lettering surface through the paint. The handling is deliberately rough and improvised, which suits a picture that is really trying to paint the sound of the music as much as the man making it.
