About this artwork

This figure painting was created as a companion piece for Leaning Figure. It is another experimentation with a lighter color palette and with semi-abstraction. After sketching a loose figure in pencil, I fill in the stray lines and shapes from the sketch with paint to create an abstracted, linear interpretation of the torso. Each shape created by the lines is an opportunity to add a new color or shadow, making it appear almost as if the figure is in motion. This piece's edges are finished in a smooth black and it is wired to hang.
