About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
This oil on board painting captures a deeply intimate and introspective moment, portraying a nude woman from a delicate side view. Her hair is tied up in a simple bun, and her arms wrap around her body in a gesture of self-comfort and vulnerability. The expressive, earthy green tones in the background are brought to life with bold, sweeping brushstrokes, creating a textured backdrop that evokes depth and emotional intrigue.
The light source gently caresses the woman’s back, casting soft shadows that enhance the curves of her form. The interplay of light and shade adds a subtle glow, highlighting her quiet embrace of herself. The overall palette is muted and organic, grounding the composition in a raw, natural atmosphere.
The artist's expressive style and the use of brushwork create a harmonious balance between the figure and her environment. It's a piece that feels both timeless and contemporary, with a serene but powerful presence. Signed and ready to display, this artwork is available at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, and can also be purchased online.
Artist biography:
Shaun Othen is a contemporary figurative artist born in 1969 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. From an early age, he was introduced to a wide range of classical artists, particularly the works of Laurence Alma-Tadema and Alphonse Mucha. Captivated by their luxurious and elegant styles, Shaun has continued to draw inspiration from this aesthetic throughout his artistic journey.
Shaun attended the esteemed Falmouth School of Art, where he discovered his passion for figurative work. Working predominantly in oils, he pursued nothing less than photographic realism. After graduating, he signed with the prestigious Artists Partners Agency, and his commissioned artworks have since appeared on book jackets and high-end magazines around the globe.
In a conscious departure from the rigid structure of his earlier photographic style, Shaun has embraced a more expressive approach to his art. He often eschews traditional brushes, opting instead for various tools to articulate his vision. By emphasizing aesthetic elements such as texture and line, he skillfully maintains aspects of realism and form amidst abstraction, creating a unique blend that invites viewers to engage with his work on multiple levels.

“I am profoundly drawn to the human figure, captivated by the lines that define us—our dimensions and forms—shaped by the light of our environment. Each stroke and contour reflects the interplay between light and shadow, illuminating the essence of our being and the experiences that shape us...”- Shaun Othen
