Original artwork description:

"Modern feminine nude", acrylic on canvas, 100X88 cm.

This painting is done in a gestural, modern and spontaneous style, using thin layers of acrylic. Painting is a pretext to play with the pictorial language: colours, shapes, graphics, transparencies and opacities.

Here, the figure of the body is stylized, semi abstract, painted in warm transparent colors such yellow, orange, brown, or reddish, on a warm grey background with differents tones.

Some areas of the artwork are enhanced with wax pastels. Some lights are enhanced with wax pastels. In some places, the wax pastel outlines the shapes, discreetly but in a contrasting colour (blue or turquoise) that vibrates against the warm colours.
The pubic hair is stylized, and rendered with a beautiful turquoise wax pastel, contrasting on the flesh of the thighs in warm colours.

I deliberately did not represent the head of this nude. I was more interested in the general shape of the body, with curves like a boat, or like the sandbanks on the Loire River, where I live. These sandbanks with their soft, languid forms and eminent curves were wonderfully represented in the form of a woman by the painter Max Ernst in the 20th century. Or also a tribute to Modigliani...

In fact, this woman's body appeared to me in a pareidolia while I was painting a background for a new painting. I just underlined the features and shapes so that this body really appeared.

The painting will be delivered signed on the front and on the back, with an invoice and a signed certificate of authenticity.
