AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This pastel drawing of a reclining woman was created by the British artist Michael Bastow (Bideford, 1943). Bastow moved as a child with his parents to Australia, where he studied architecture at the University of Melbourne. After a period as art director in the British film industry, he settled in Belgium in 1974 to devote himself completely to painting. Since then he has worked from studios in Paris and the Provence and has exhibited internationally, in particular in France, Belgium, England, the United States, Argentina, Peru, and Australia.
The female nude forms the central theme within Bastow's oeuvre. In his work he explores the timeless appeal and hushed sensuality of the female body. His models often appear in relaxed, ambiguous, or slightly provocative poses that balance between intimacy and contemplation. Also in this pastel drawing the reclining woman is central: with soft color tones and a subtle line, Bastow manages to evoke a mood of calm, elegance, and restrained sensuality. The work bears witness to his continuing fascination with the relationship between artist and model, a recurring motif that lends his oeuvre personal and psychological depth.
