Golden - 29-01-21 Addition to the Series After my previous pastel drawing I decided to do a totally different one. Not in hatched strokes but smoothed out I had in mind.

Abstracted Nude Figurative in Pastel on Paper Vivid abstracted figurative by Black Arts Bay Area artist, Kelvin Curry (American, 20th Century), circa 2000. A woman's profile of her face and her breasts and leg is shown in bold and playful colors of fluorescent purple, orange, pink and yellow. Black outlines of organic and tribal shapes creates even more contrast, making this piece read well from a distance. The tall and thin size of this piece makes this ideal for those difficult and odd sized walls Unsigned Presented "floating" on foam core with black mat surround. Mat size: 38"H x 16"W Paper size: 29"H x 10.75"W Born in Oakland, California Kelvin Curry's creative destiny was clear early in life. Initially using black and white graphite as his medium and later expanding into mixed media to bring about multi-dimension; as well as a sense of rhythm and grace in the abstract female figure. Kelvin Curry studied fine arts at San Jose State University and has been making and exhibiting art all his life.
