Work on warm gray grain paper.
Technique: dry pastel, final fixative.
Dimensions: 29.7 x 21 cm
Signed bottom right of the pastel work.

With a very realistic aesthetic, this drawing is a study of a nude realized in dry pastel.
It depicts a naked man standing, in a lightly swaying pose and with a somewhat sexy attitude.
Verssan deliberately framed the face of the man off-center, giving full prominence to the musculature of the body revealed by a subtle play of light.
A touch of erotism emanates from this man, yet there he is: in front of the camera, without superfluous elements. The pastel treatment lends the work a voluptuous and soft quality.

A few additional images of the artist at work illustrate his universe.

Created by Verssan, a pastel artist based in the south of France.
First prize: Bouc Bel Air Artists’ Salon 2018.
Sm’art Art Fair - Aix-en-Provence.

Verssan finds in pastel a way to appropriate the body through curves, voids and fullness, shadows and light, by rubbing, blending and blowing matter onto the paper. The artist treats his subjects using color harmonies while playing with the color of the support in warm gray tones, revealing both softness and delicacy and also strength and virility.
