Verssan - Femme pensive

Work on hot gray-grain paper.
Technique: dry pastel, final fixative.
Dimensions: 30x30 cm
Signed at the bottom right of the pastel work.

Hyperrealist piece depicting a nude woman leaning on her elbow, shown in close-up.
The artist deliberately cropped the drawing to focus only on the lines of the female body. The pastel allows a play between the softness of shadows and the precision of details.
The body’s position recalls both classical poses often found in the history of art and a certain modernity with a hint of eroticism.

Perfect condition, directly from the artist’s workshop.
Delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
Packaging: flat carton.

Created by Verssan, a pastel artist based in the south of France.
First prize: Salon des artistes de Bouc Bel Air 2018.

Verssan finds through pastel a way to claim the body through curves, voids and fills, of shadows and lights by rubbing, blending, and blowing the material onto the paper. The artist treats his subjects using tonal variations (camaïeux) while playing with the color of the support in warm gray tones, revealing both softness and delicacy but also strength and virility.
