Dorian Gray Double Vanishing Fore-Edge Painting – Hand-Painted Book with Two

Introducing my very first two-way double vanishing fore-edge painting — a hauntingly beautiful tribute to The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

This book holds a secret, or rather... two.

✨ Vanishing Artwork
Fanned one way, the gilded edge reveals a youthful, flawless Dorian Gray — elegant and radiant.
Fanned the other, it unveils his hidden portrait, corrupted and grotesque, capturing his descent into vanity and moral decay.

This is more than a book. It's a moving artwork that shifts with every page you flip — echoing the very soul of Wilde’s masterpiece.
