Simple Nude Figure 5004 Oil

Simple Nude Figure 5004 24 x 32 x 1.5 inches (60 x 80 x 4 cm) Acrylic on Stretched 3D Gallery Canvas.

A simple portrait posed, contemporary painting. The pose is in the most simplified to its basic line and shapes, disguising the figure from the background. Where the eye has to search for the missing textures. A very intriguing and decorative painting which was also inspired by figure pose.
The figured is painted in large single lines with muted colours emphasized simple painterly qualities and strong shapes over the representational or realistic values retained by observation of the head.
Textured form, shades, light and shape interact and play to add life and movement, complementing the juxtapositions of shape and form and line.
The simple design has a unique dimensional abstract quality.
It is surprising how little information is needed for the eye and mind to make up the full picture. Highly illustrated and aesthetically pleasing painting. The face is what people see bur hardly ever the nude body, which is also a paradox of what makes us human.
