In The Coat, Liljeström transforms a paparazzi photograph of Whitney Houston into a study of movement and anonymity. The airbrushed canvas captures the texture of a luxurious fur coat, with the figure’s head deliberately cropped out, focusing solely on the tactile richness of the fabric and the subtle gestures of the hands. The soft, redish hues and smooth gradients create a sense of warmth and intimacy, while the absence of the figure’s identity shifts the viewer’s attention to the ordinary act of shopping, stripped of its celebrity context. This painting exemplifies Liljeström’s interest in transient moments—unposed, fleeting, and captured in motion.
