"The Kiss" 2023, dark figurative oil painting by Daniela Astone

By Daniela Astone

Located in Sag Harbor, NY

Part of Daniela Astone's series of figures in different ethereal and surrealistic spaces. "The Kiss" brings to mind Gustav Klimt's famous 1908 painting of the same name but instead of an abstracted gold background, Astone creates a mysterious creature enveloping and suspending the figure in mid-air. The dark monster looks ominous until you notice the nude figure leaning into her partner, her hands lightly caressing or leaning on the the amorphous creature. Her body is relaxed and her eyes closed. As a classical artist who paints the nude figure everyday, Astone is masterful at depicting women at ease in their natural bodies rather than women self-conscious of their nudity—posing but fearful of exploitation at the same time—a theme in art history that continues today. Some of the sweeping strokes of black are inspired by Japanese paintings techniques, and on the lighter areas there are rain drop falling from a blue-grey cloud in the background. 52.8 x 44.9 inches framed Artist Bio Daniela Astone was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1980 and raised in Porto Santo Stefano...

Located in Chicago, IL

The Space Between This work foregrounds negative space as an emotional register. The figure’s isolation is intensified by the surrounding darkness, which functions as both void and refuge. Hall’s mastery of chiaroscuro is evident in the way light traces bone and muscle while leaving the face partially obscured, denying easy access to the subject’s inner life. Nathan Brad Hall...

Day Break Here, light enters as a quiet revelation rather than a dramatic intrusion. The figure is caught in a private moment, his gaze inward, as if emerging from sleep or introspection. The painting recalls Caravaggio’s restraint in late works, where illumination becomes softer, more contemplative. Flesh tones are handled with remarkable subtlety, allowing emotion to surface through posture rather than expression. Nathan Brad Hall...

By Robert Goldstrom

Located in Hudson, NY

Anatomy Study #63 Contemporary Nude Oil Painting of toned male with outstretched arms Painted by Robert Goldstrom in 2023, 10 x 8 inches, 11 x 9 inches framed in white wood frame Robert Goldstrom is best known for his Brooklyn landscape paintings, but he is similarly prolific with his anatomy studies. Goldstrom comes from a background in illustration, and these roots can be seen throughout his figure paintings. A hallmark of his style is the way Goldstrom uses softly blended colors and his purposeful use of shadows to accentuate the organic shape and form of the figure. In this specific piece, the face is obfuscated in shadow, forcing the eye to focus on the prominent deltoids and latissimus muscles, brought to the foreground. Goldstrom's painting style is subtly pointillist with peppered brushstrokes that reflect light off of the natural curvatures of the muscle. The background color of this canvas falls between a deep dusty rose or burnt sienna, which complements the figure's warm naked skin tone. About the artist: Robert Goldstrom lives and paints Upstate New York by way of Brooklyn, NY. After years of making a living as an illustrator, winning both Gold and Silver Medals from the Society of Illustrators, Robert turned more and more to creating personal work. Now a full-time artist, he usually works in series – The Anatomy Lesson...
