Pen on Chateau Marmont stationery

Unique work
In Jane Birkin, Luke Haeger distills the essence of an icon into a sparse, pen-drawn homage. More impression than portrait, the work channels Birkin’s effortless mystique—her presence evoked through gesture, memory, and suggestion rather than likeness. Rendered on Chateau Marmont stationery, the drawing becomes a quiet tribute to glamour, ephemerality, and the myth of the muse.
Haeger’s practice often hovers between personal reverence and cultural commentary. Here, he taps into the aura of a figure whose influence transcends eras, using minimal means to conjure maximum presence. Jane Birkin reads like a love note left behind—unfolded, unfinished, unforgettable.
