Description from the seller
Joan Castejón (1945) – Female figure – 1990 – Signed and numbered 87/170
Graphic work by the renowned Spanish artist Joan Castejón (Elche, 1945), dated 1990, signed and pencil-numbered.
Copy 87 of an edition limited to 170.
The composition represents a nude female figure, viewed from behind and folded upon herself, within a dark geometric space that intensifies her expressiveness.
The body posture, anatomical tension, and the contrast between illuminated areas and shadows create an image of great visual impact and introspection.
The work reflects some of the most characteristic elements of Castejón's artistic language: his extraordinary mastery of anatomical drawing, the expressive representation of the human body, and the combination of figuration and abstraction.
About the artist
Joan Castejón (Elche, 1945) is a prominent representative of contemporary Spanish figuration.
Linked to the historic Grup d’Elx, he has developed an extensive artistic career in painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture.
The human figure constitutes one of the central themes of his production, characterized by expressive intensity, anatomical precision, and a deep exploration of the human condition.
