Portrait 1963

Abstract impressionist nude artwork — Portrait 1963 rendered across multiple artistic styles.

Portrait 1963 — Goya Ground

Goya Ground

Dark and dramatic with ghostly figurative forms emerging from the background. Rich and atmospheric. The figure stands before what feels like a scene from a classical painting.

Portrait 1963 — Thrown Clay

Thrown Clay

Warm grey with bold swirling painterly forms in the background. The figure feels modelled rather than painted. Sculptural and considered.

Portrait 1963 — Pink Impasto

Pink Impasto

Warm pinks and rose with large painterly forms flanking the figure. Rich and sensuous. The figure feels present and inhabited.

Portrait 1963 — Peach Drift

Peach Drift

Warm pink and grey with flowing organic forms in the background. Soft and painterly. The figure feels at ease in a gentle decorative surround.

Portrait 1963 — Origami Grey

Origami Grey

Pure monochrome grey with large geometric faceted planes filling the background. The figure is folded into the same angular surface rather than modelled in the round. Precise and cool with no colour anywhere in the image.

Portrait 1963 — Neon Trace

Neon Trace

Cool grey with large rounded stone forms in the background and a vivid teal-cyan outline tracing the figure's contours. The glowing edge sits sharp against the muted painterly surround. Distinctive and immediate.

Portrait 1963 — Ash Stone

Ash Stone

Cool ash-grey throughout with large angular rock forms flanking the figure. The flesh tones are drained to near-silver with little warmth anywhere. Spare and cool with a monumental stillness.

Portrait 1963 — Inflation

Inflation

Warm flesh tones throughout with ghostly repeated figure forms filling the background in the same skin palette. The repeated forms generate odd fleshy appendages around the central figure. Distinctive and slightly unsettling.

Portrait 1963 — Graphic Rose

Graphic Rose

Pale grey with bold dark contour line and flat rose-pink colour fills on shadows and forms. Rocky cloud-like forms fill the background in the same graphic style. Immediate and illustration-like with a strong linear character.

Portrait 1963 — From Hell

From Hell

Near-black ground with slashing crimson and deep red forms flanking the figure. Figure is pale and exposed against the dark threatening surround. Darker and more menacing than Crimson Stage — the black dominates with red as accent. Dramatic and confrontational.

Portrait 1963 — Disco Rose

Disco Rose

Cool blue and mauve with large rounded petal-like forms filling the background — abstract roses with a crystalline flash. Figure is warm and painterly against the cool floral surround. Soft and romantic but with a sparkling edge. Distinctive and immediately appealing.

Portrait 1963 — Blue Abundance

Blue Abundance

Deep cobalt and violet-blue ground with large rounded organic forms in cream warm taupe and pale gold massed behind the figure like oversized cloud shapes. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with confident impasto marks. Rich saturated and sculptural.
