Verssan - Etude de nu: Couple féminin, le baiser

Warm gray textured paper.\nTechnique: dry pastel, final fixative.\nDimensions: 30x30cm\nSigned bottom right of the pastel work.\n\nNude sketch executed in dry pastel by Verssan. In a hyperrealist style, this drawing portrays a female couple caressing each other’s breasts and kissing. The off-center framing of the faces leaves space for the work of the bodies, for a certain sensuality and eroticism. The play of light highlights every curve of these women as they embrace with finesse. The artist pushes the level of detail even further by creating with the pastel a wet-looking effect on the bodies of these women. The pastel treatment adds a voluptuous and soft character to the work.\n\nSome additional images of the artist at work illustrate his/her universe.\n\nIn perfect condition, freshly out of the artist’s studio. Delivered with a certificate of authenticity. Packaging: flat carton.\n\nCreated by Verssan, pastel artist based in the south of France.\n1st prize: Salon des Artistes de Bouc Bel Air 2018.\n\nVerssan finds, through pastel, a way to inhabit the body through plays of curves, hollows and fullness, shadows and light, by rubbing, blending, and blowing the material on the paper. The artist treats his/her subjects using tonal ranges (camaïeux) but also playing with the color of the support in warm gray tones, revealing both softness and delicacy but also strength and virility.\n\nInstagram: @verssanart
