Seated Woman

"Seated Woman" exemplifies the Bay Area Figurative Movement’s shift away from Abstract Expressionism toward a more representational style. Created using oil on canvas, the painting captures a contemplative portrait of a woman seated in a relaxed pose. The artist employs bold brushstrokes and a vivid color palette inspired by Expressionism, emphasizing emotional depth. This work reflects the movement’s focus on figuration, blending realistic elements with expressive techniques to explore human form and psychology.
