About the artwork

An expressive study of a woman, painted with broad palette-knife strokes rather than careful detail. Her face is left blank, just a pale oval under dark hair, and her body is built up in deep burgundy and dark red against a thickly textured pale yellow ground. The edges of the figure blur into the background, and the pose, hand resting on the hip, is read entirely through large blocks of colour. Shulman puts the feeling and the colour ahead of any likeness here. Oil on canvas, 2025, 40 by 50 centimetres.
