Nude Study

This elegant and simple Sarah Atkinson piece, inspired by the minimalist line drawings of Matisse and Picasso, is exemplified by clean lines and modern, understated color. Display it as a central figurative piece on a gallery wall or showcase it solo in a transitional space.

• Sarah studied fine arts at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, a passion she pursued thanks to the influence and support of her father, who was also a painter. During college, she developed a deep interest in figural studies and began to cultivate her contextual style of painting. She captures timeless, almost seductive movement in her paintings and offsets them against an organic, often abstract backdrop consisting of unconventional materials like tar and beeswax. These works are held in private collections throughout the United States, and they have been displayed in multiple galleries throughout the Carolinas.
