Description from the seller
Louis Nagelkerke (Eindhoven, February 3, 1949) has been working as a professional artist since 1980. Louis is a versatile artist and never without inspiration or new ideas. Movement, beauty and mysticism are characteristic of his artworks. He is especially inspired by life in the Indonesian archipelago and is fascinated by the mystery of its inhabitants, both human and animal. His inspiration often concerns the Eastern person. Musicians, dancers and female dancers, particularly the people of the beautiful island Bali. People from the theatre are also often his models. The subjects for his work are as varied and rich as life itself. But always recurring is his love for Eastern culture and religion, music and dance. Louis Nagelkerke is especially known for his very realistic depictions of people, "bringing out the beauty in people and animals." That is the artist’s credo: with his paintings he aims to make the world more beautiful. He is able to accurately capture the essence of the image in posture and mood.
This painting shows a naked woman lying in a relaxed pose, with her arms folded above her head and her eyes closed. The woman lies on richly worked textile, reminiscent of Eastern patterns, which is a direct reference to Nagelkerke’s fascination with Indonesian and Balinese culture.
