Shaoli Chen, 'Nude Girl4'
A compelling vertical composition featuring a seated female figure with braided hair, wearing only an orange top. She is seated on a pink drapery that adds textural complexity to the scene. On the floor, a red and blue carpet creates an element of groundedness and chromatic contrast. Two rabbit toys placed on the carpet introduce a whimsical and light-hearted element to the composition. The background is bare, allowing the subject to stand out prominently.
