Nude from behind

The work depicts a woman seen from behind, wearing only a blue headband tied to hold back her hair. Her face, portrayed in profile, is cropped by the framing so as to reveal only the lower half. The pose references a classical ideal of beauty, rendered by the light that caresses the anatomical lines of the female body, in a "soft" atmosphere suspended in time, where a large pearl earring, peeking from her flowing hair, recalls images already present in Vermeer's 17th-century paintings. On the arch of her back, a tattoo inscribed "What's art" stands out, a provocative question for the viewer, prompting them to question what art is today. The large canvas (100 cm x 120 cm) is painted using oil on canvas. The work participated in the Gran Premio San Babila, a group exhibition at Galleria San Babila in Milan (from 14/06/2024 to 30/06/2024), and was published in the Catalogue THE STATE OF THE ART IN THE TIMES OF THE 60TH VENICE BIENNALE, edited by the historian and art critic Giorgio Gregorio Grasso – Official Catalogue of the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CULTURE.
