Post-Modern Mannequin Acrylic Painting on Wood Panel

About the Item

Fragmented body and articulated silhouette in this unsigned acrylic on plywood. The female figure is reduced to a system of disconnected white segments and red circles — like a puppet or a study mannequin. The volumes are flat, the shapes geometric. The raw wooden background adds an almost clinical functionality to the whole. Red marks the sexualized zones: the breasts, the pelvis. Three solid, opaque discs are pressed onto the surface. There is no flesh, no gaze. Only signs. To the left, a floating structure draws the eye — a set of contained curves, outlined in black, filled with yellow, blue, and pink. Open lines, fragments of circles, and trapezoids interlace without ever closing. It suggests a stylized shield, but also a script, an abstract alphabet. A mental form, fragile, almost playful — a counterpoint or extension of the body. The composition evokes an aesthetic dissection, a coded anatomy. The human figure is reduced to an assembly of hinges, an image of control or availability — a body ready to be activated. From this cold construction, an unexpected softness emerges. A cut-out body offered up like a diagram. Something in the curves, the use of white, the unpainted joints, the simplicity of the flat tones, the dignity of the wood — all allow for a kind of tenderness. As if this figure, despite its fragmentation, stood upright in a strange, quiet peace. It does not resist — it floats, still inhabited by an idea of the body: not in its organic truth, but in a graphic clarity, pared down to the essential.
