An original graphite drawing titled “At Rest” by the late Jamaican artist Howard Moo Young.
This finely executed work captures a fisherman’s boat resting on tyres in Parrottee Bay, St. Elizabeth. Rendered entirely in pencil, the composition highlights Moo Young’s exceptional control of light, reflection, and texture – particularly in the stillness of the water.
The piece conveys a quiet, contemplative mood, making it both visually striking and deeply calming.
Presented in a clean black frame, ready to hang.
A compelling addition for collectors of Caribbean art or those seeking a refined, minimalist statement piece.
Works by Moo Young are increasingly sought after following his passing, adding to the significance of original pieces such as this.
Howard Moo Young is a graduate of The School of Visual Arts, New York, in Advertising and Graphic Design. He is an award-winning creative director, graphic designer, artist and photographer with over 40 years experience. His peers recognized his contribution to the advertising industry with an award of 30 Years of Excellence in Advertisingfrom The Advertising Agencies Association of Jamaica.
