<Sleeping Nude> Nudes and erotic – on canvas, 213.36 x 152.4 cm. Price 35,000 USD This painting addresses the much used image of the reclining nude female throughout art history.My interpretation is of a female nude seen from four angles at once. The juxtaposition of the four images can create more than five and more figures when viewing from different angles. The movement of the lines is very important creating their own abstraction.The movement of the different angles of the heads, hands, legs and feet create a form of composition in relation to music.This creates a three dimensional image within the picture plane.This painting was shown at the 2019 London Biennale (Chelsea Town Hall) and at the 500 year anniversary of Leonardo di Vinci in Florence Italy at Medici Riccardi Palace.
