Gold on White – Fish

A study in formal simplicity depicting a single fish rendered in warm ochre and tan tones against a pale ground. The composition presents the subject frontally, with anatomical clarity in the fins and scaled body, accompanied by two smaller wing-like forms above—possibly studies or variations. The work demonstrates Heyns’ characteristic technical precision, achieved through restrained gesture and considered colour application on board. The intimate scale and economical palette reflect an artist in sustained dialogue with his medium, seeking aesthetic refinement through careful observation.
