About the Item
A pair of boldly stylized surrealist figurative paintings signed and dated by H. Nordeman, 1994. Each work features a fantastical, cartoon-like character rendered with exaggerated anatomy, satirical expression, and surreal proportions. One composition depicts a muscular male figure in profile against a grassy field and soft blue sky, while the companion piece portrays a female figure in a red bikini posed at the seaside with spiked hair and exaggerated features.
Both paintings are likely executed in acrylic on canvas and housed in polished metallic-toned frames, one in silver-tone and the other in bronze-gold tone. The artist's signature and date are clearly visible on each work. The playful distortion, humorous caricature, and bold use of color highlight Nordeman's distinctive late 20th-century approach to imaginative figurative art, blending surrealism with outsider and satirical influences.
Together, these works present a complementary pair that balances masculine and feminine forms in a humorous and unconventional manner. Their exaggerated forms, expressive personalities, and satirical undertones make them a striking set ideal for collectors of surrealist, outsider, and contemporary figurative art.
