"Undeniable" by Rizaldy - Contemporary Disrupted Realism - Figurative Nude

2024

About the Item

Rizaldy Celi Jr. (Filipino-Vietnamese, American, born 1983) "Undeniable" 2024 Oil paint, Varnish, Canvas, Stretcher bars The artist signed the back of the painting. 'Undeniable' by Rizaldy Celi Jr. is a poignant and evocative work of disrupted realism, measuring 48" x 36". This oil on canvas captures the vulnerability and complexity of human interaction through the depiction of a nude male and female figure, their forms rendered with a raw, emotional intensity that speaks to the nuances of consent and discomfort. The painting’s palette is dominated by dark, muted tones that envelop the figures, enhancing the dramatic tension between them. The woman, depicted with a serene expression, reaches out confidently, her touch contrasting starkly with the man’s evident discomfort. This dynamic is further intensified by the shadowy tentacles that encircle them, symbolic perhaps of societal pressures or the unseen forces that shape our interactions. The backstory of the piece, originating from a photoshoot where the male model felt uneasy about physical contact, adds a layer of depth to the artwork, challenging the viewer to consider the boundaries of personal space and the varied responses to intimacy. 'Undeniable' not only captures a moment of tension but also invites reflection on the broader implications of consent and personal agency in our relationships. About the Artist: Rizaldy Celi Jr. (b. 1983, California, USA) is a transformative figure in contemporary art, whose journey through personal redemption has shaped his vibrant and emotive large-scale mixed-media works. Within just five years, Rizaldy has achieved considerable acclaim, with notable exhibitions like 'Stages of Grief' at The De Young Museum and representation at the San Francisco Art Fair '24 by The American Art Gallery. Initially driven by a need to process complex personal emotions, Rizaldy’s work offers a profound insight into the human condition. His pieces, often beginning as intimate self-explorations, have struck a chord with audiences, allowing them to resonate with his candid explorations of love and despair. Rizaldy characterizes his work as a skillful blend of Baroque aesthetics and contemporary sensibilities, drawing profound inspiration from the timeless techniques of Old Masters like Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Rubens. Transitioning from photography to painting, he has embraced the tactile qualities of oil and acrylic paints to better express these themes. Rizaldy values the patience required in painting, a contrast to his earlier work in film and photography, where collaboration sometimes hindered his creative autonomy. Now, his paintings often find a place in the intimate setting of home décor, reflecting his preference for personal connection over commercial visibility. Rizaldy's professional and creative evolution is a testament to his belief in hope and the transformative power of accepting responsibility for one’s happiness and creative expression. 1-of-1, original.
