Description from the seller
Mikhail ASHKHOTOV (Born in 1959)
Nude Standing at the Mirror, 1994
Technique: Original color lithograph on paper.
Signatures: Signed on the plate at the bottom right; countersigned and dated “Ashkhotov 94” in pencil by the artist in the lower left margin.
Dimensions (sight): 43 x 33 cm.
Condition: Very good condition.
Presented under glass in a molded and gilded wooden frame with carved decoration.
Subject description & stylistic analysis
This work is an intimate composition depicting a three-quarter seated female nude, placing it within the great tradition of European modernity in the 20th century.
The model is captured in a lascivious yet sculptural pose, arms raised behind the head, emphasizing the arch and the pure lines of the body.
The silhouette, outlined by a dark and vigorous contour reminiscent of Expressionism and Fauvism, stands out against a contrasting background combining areas of gray and deep blue. To the right of the composition, an oval red-framed mirror adds geometric depth to the space and echoes the abstract drapery motifs on which the model rests.
Mastery of lithographic technique here faithfully renders the grain and texture, evoking the softness of pastel or chalk pastels.
Artist biographical note
Mikhail ASHKHOTOV is a painter and graphic artist of Russian origin, born in 1959 in Naltchik. A graduate of the prestigious Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts (Repine Institute), he received a solid classical education there, which he soon confronted with Western avant-garde movements.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he settled in Central Europe in the early 1990s. His creative period around 1993 corresponds to a phase of intense international recognition, marked by major exhibitions in the Czech Republic (Prague) and Italy (Mantua). His work, characterized by a celebration of the human form and a vibrant use of color, is today sought after by modern-art collectors from both Eastern and Western Europe.
