Nude at Midnight

SOLD.

An emotive and brilliantly executed mid-century nude figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

A female figure commands attention at the center stage. Seated gracefully upon a blue platform with her knees drawn up and with one hand gently resting on her knee, she turns slightly to the side, her pose suggesting both poise and introspection.

Set against a backdrop of blocks of dark blue and charcoal grey, the figure emerges and her naturalistic tones accentuate her presence and create a striking contrast against the somber backdrop.

The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, and there is a strong focus on rich colours and expressive brushstrokes to enhance the emotional resonance of the painting.

The brushstrokes, textured and expressive, imbue the composition with a tactile quality and adds character to the piece overall.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning champagne frame. The painting has scattered craquelure present commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is stable overall.

Size: 60.5 x 57 cm (including frame)
