Description: This is an unusual and striking nude, with a sense of surrealism. It is bold, contemporary and emotive with a lovely sketcherly aspect. the subject is raw and unfettered with beautiful connective lines and strength. The colors are tawny and warm with a rich, velvety feel. the mask is carefully painted using traditional oil painting techniques with a small amount of color to catch the eye and contrast with the tonal aspect of the piece. This painting was recently featured in Miami Art Basel.
This piece is Oils on Canvas painted in my signature ochre technique using layered washes and strategic removal of paint to create a wonderful three dimensional look and a strong emotional feel. Skin tones are produced using this technique with colors and glazes to enhance the emotive qualities and sketcherly aspect of the figures.
The canvas is used as an element in this painting lending it's texture to the overall work. The colors are warm, earthy and sensual with a wonderful tonal quality.
This work is presented on single width gallery wrapped canvas with professional hanging hardware. It is ready to hang on your wall. It is signed 'Jennie' on the front.
