16th Annual NUDE Exhibition @ Manifest Gallery

August 16th - September 13th, 2024

I'm excited to be showing this acrylic figure painting at Manifest Gallery's annual exhibition of the nude!

In Figure 1 2023 I attempted my first full-color figure in many years. Instead of carefully mixing colors, I used a small palette of pure acrylic colors mixed only with white and medium; and I hatched these in many thin layers, one atop the other. This interlacing I hoped would creates a vibrant effect similar to egg tempera.

It is 8"x13" on ACM panel (Dibond), and framed in a way that floats the piece but hides the edge.
