Abstract Figurative Composition – Artist Unidentified

Description
This expressive mixed-media work on paper by an unidentified artist presents a dynamic abstract figurative composition executed with confident, gestural brushwork. Bold black strokes define a loosely human form in motion, intersecting with saturated areas of deep cobalt blue that introduce rhythm and visual tension. The background is structured in soft horizontal bands of pale blue and warm cream, creating a sense of spatial grounding while allowing the central figure to remain dominant. The paint application is energetic and direct, with visible brush marks and intentional drips that reinforce the immediacy of the artist’s hand. Dated 1983, the work reflects the language of late 20th-century European abstraction, where figuration is reduced to essential movement and form. The composition balances spontaneity with control, resulting in a striking, modern presence well suited to contemporary and minimalist interiors.
