Figures and Hare – Abstract Figuration by Jordi Samsó

Description
Jordi Samsó presents an expressive oil composition depicting two elongated female figures and a vividly rendered hare within an abstracted, atmospheric setting.
A restrained palette of slate greys, smoky blues, and rust accents enhances the fluid, gestural brushwork and bold linear contours.
The shifting background and layered colour create depth and psychological tension between human and animal forms.
Reflecting postwar Catalan modernism, the work balances abstraction and figuration with strong visual presence.
