Jo Sommer - Bold bound & beautiful

Jo Sommer (Germany), Bold bound & beautiful, 2023.
Original acrylic painting on canvas, hand-signed.

The work shows the stylized frontal view of a kneeling female figure. Depicted in intense reds, pinks, and blacks, the composition combines a clear, graphic language of form with elements of Pop Art. The strong planes of color and contrasts give the body a powerful presence and a simultaneously sensual as well as self-assured aura.

A distinctive feature is the decorative lines and accents made from glitter stones, each one applied by hand. This hand-finished work creates a unique surface texture, reflects the light, and gives the piece additional spatial depth as well as a luxurious, almost jewelry-like character. This results in an engaging interplay between painting and object art.

Thematically, the work traverses bodily presence, strength, identity, and modern femininity. The striking, iconic portrayal makes the image a bold focal point in the room.
