About the Item

Striking realistic portrait painting of a semi-nude woman with arrows titled "Marks" by Aaron Nagel. Oil on canvas. Size 46 x 30 inches. Offered unframed. Aaron Nagel is inspired by the contrast between power and the fragility of the human body. Nagel's figure of a youthful woman surrounded by archery arrows embodies Catholic martyrs such as St. Sebastian, offering atheists and skeptics an alternative to traditional religious symbolism. Although the figure is partially naked and exposed, her facial expression and body language are unaffected, gazing directly at the viewer. Born in 1980 in San Francisco, California, Aaron Nagel began drawing as a child and gradually made his way to painting. Upon discovering oils in his early twenties, he became enamored with the medium and has been obsessed ever since. Although he has had no formal training, he continues to relentlessly pursue a mastery of figurative surrealism. Nagel has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland (OR), Philadelphia, Tucson, Miami, and New York and at international art fairs such as Art Miami and Scope. He was a Semi-Finalist in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition (2009) at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. figurative painting, figurative art, contemporary art, figure, female form, female portrait, portrait painting, semi-nude, archery, arrows, female gaze, contemporary painting, woman, woman's history month
