Experience the compelling abstraction of Nicolas De Staël with this evocative oil painting. The vertical composition portrays a seated male model, rendered with De Staël’s characteristic boldness and intensity. The painting is dominated by a dynamic contrast of red/orange and blue, creating a vivid interplay of color that captures the viewer’s eye.

De Staël’s expressive brushwork is evident in the linear strokes that define and support the volume and texture of the surface. This approach not only enhances the physicality of the painting but also imbues the work with a sense of movement and depth, characteristic of De Staël’s innovative style. The composition’s interplay of color and form highlights the artist’s mastery of abstract painting while maintaining a strong figurative presence.
