Torso in Yellow - René J

A torso is painted close up and cropped at the shoulders and hips, worked in thick yellow, cream and white with red and orange breaking through. Dark green and deep blue close in along both edges, and a fine dark line drops down the centre of the body. The paint is scraped and dragged so the weave of the canvas shows through.

Painted in acrylic with knife and brush, colour laid wet into wet. René J is a Danish contemporary artist who works mainly with the human figure, exploring identity, strength and vulnerability. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
