Nude in Green and Red - original figurative oil painting - contemporary Art

2023

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. This captivating piece by Shaun Othen presents a figure of a nude woman gracefully turning her back to the viewer, yet with a subtle glance that invites contemplation. The artwork is an expressive, contemporary exploration of form and color, executed in oil on board. The smoothness and softness of the woman's skin stand out against the bold, sweeping brushstrokes of the green and red background, creating a powerful contrast between figure and environment. The composition is both balanced and dynamic, with a natural elegance and movement in the lines of the body that draw the eye. The rich color palette of deep greens and striking reds provides depth and emotion, enhancing the expressive quality of the painting. The background, full of energetic layers and textures, complements the serenity of the figure’s posture, adding a complexity that brings the viewer’s focus to both the woman and the space she inhabits. This original work is signed by the artist and ready to be displayed, offering a bold and intimate statement piece for any collection. Currently available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, this painting can also be purchased online for art lovers everywhere. 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. Explore the captivating, transcendent figurative paintings by Shaun Othen, thoughtfully curated at Signet Contemporary Art. Available for purchase both in our London gallery and online, these exceptional works showcase Shaun Othen's extraordinary talent and unique artistic vision. “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
