Two nude figures stand pressed close in profile, painted almost entirely in deep terracotta and red, their raised arms crossing and clasping above their heads. Their bodies mirror each other so closely that they read as one twisting shape against the background.
Shulman sets them on a plain ground split into pale and dark horizontal bands, a thick black stripe running straight through behind them. The warm red of the skin against that cool background is the whole drama. Two is oil on canvas from 2011, a large square at 100 by 100 centimetres.
