(c) Figures

A densely composed study of human figures rendered in mixed media with characteristic warmth and expressive energy. The work layers earth tones and cooler hues across paper, with figures emerging through gestural mark-making and varied textures. Forms are exaggerated and somewhat abstracted, yet retain their figurative presence. Claerhout’s approach to drawing and mixed-media work reflects his prolific experimentation beyond his better-known oil paintings.
