Reclining Nude in Cool Blue Flames

“Reclining Nude in Cool Blue Flame” is a symbolic portrait- a reclining nude posed in a classic position, but painted in a modern style- is meant to confront the viewer, and provoke questions on the state-of-the-woman today. Blue flames represent the subtle power of poise and icy reserve, rendering the subject on fire…ablaze in cool. Her confrontational gaze is juxtaposed with the vulnerability of her nakedness which creates both narrative and visual contrasts. “Reclining Nude in Cool Blue Flame” is 24 x 28 – inch acrylic on canvas.
