"Goldie - Met Gala" Figure with Gown French Haute Couture Oil Painting on Canvas

By Cindy Shaoul

Located in New York, NY

Exploring the purity of the feminine form and the drama of French haute couture, artist Cindy Shaoul creates a dialogue between the figurative and the abstract. Her spirited compositions are both dramatic and invigorating, capturing the fleeting moment of innocence swept up in bold color and seemingly controlled movement. "Goldie - Met Gala" demonstrates a whimsical expression of femininity and formality; a stunning display of understated grandeur. It is as if the shape's only purpose is to hold the magnificent colors. This piece is signed lower left by the artist and is painted oil and mixed media on canvas and it comes housed in a contemporary white floater wood...
