Madame X Painting

Inspired by the abstraction and simplification of the female form as seen in Nikoleta Sekulovic's work. Unlike the bold poses of my Liberty series I was inspired by the simple yet striking depictions of the female figure seen in formal portrait of the 19th century such as Sargent's formidable portrait named 'Madame X'. The abstract shapes and neutral colours work well in a modern or minimalist interior space and bring this 19th century inspired piece into 21st century surroundings. Acrylic ground and oils on fine grain canvas - not on stretcher. Unframed and hanging hardware not included.
