“Figure in Water” is a striking piece by Neil Welliver, executed in oil on canvas. This artwork belongs to the genre of nude painting and is categorized within the art movement of Contemporary Realism. It is currently housed at the Alexandre Gallery in New York City, NY, US.
In the artwork, a nude figure is depicted floating serenely in water. The artist’s use of smooth, undulating lines and a natural color palette captures the fluidity and tranquility of the scene. The reflective surface of the water is skillfully rendered with swirling blues and greens, juxtaposed with the soft, pale tones of the figure’s skin. The interplay of light and shadow on the water and the figure creates a harmonious composition that exudes both realism and a sense of calm introspection.
