Leather & EastWood by Jade Tantillo Original Work on Paper was created in 2025 that explores material contrast, cultural reference, and the tactile language of surface. The title suggests a dialogue between textures and places—softness and structure, organic matter and crafted form—inviting the viewer to consider how materials carry memory, identity, and meaning.

Hand drawn and painted on paper, Leather & (East)Wood by Jade Tantillo reflects a meticulous and intentional approach to mark-making. Drawing provides structure and precision, while painted elements introduce depth, rhythm, and tonal variation. The combination allows the surface to feel both considered and expressive, where detail and gesture coexist. Rather than resolving into a single visual statement, the work encourages slow reading, revealing nuance through texture and layered interaction.

Measuring 50.8 × 50.8 cm (20 × 20 in), the artwork’s square format reinforces balance and containment. This proportion supports the conceptual focus on material dialogue, allowing opposing elements to coexist within a stable visual field. The scale gives the piece presence without excess, making it well suited for contemporary interiors, curated collections, and collectors who value works on paper with refined execution and strong material character.

This artwork is an original, one-of-a-kind work on paper. No editions or reproductions exist. Leather & (East)Wood by Jade Tantillo ships matted and framed in a natural oak frame, offering a warm, timeless presentation that complements the material qualities of the artwork. The piece arrives ready to hang, with no additional framing required.

The work reflects Jade Tantillo’s interest in materiality as a language—how surface, texture, and reference can communicate without relying on overt narrative. By pairing contrasting elements within a restrained composition, the artwork creates space for interpretation rooted in sensation and association rather than explanation.

Leather & (East)Wood by Jade Tantillo is intended for collectors who appreciate original works on paper that combine material sensitivity, conceptual clarity, and refined presentation—artwork that feels tactile, balanced, and enduring.
