The artwork, titled “The Silent Runner,” was created by Nathan Oliveira in the year 2001 and belongs to the art movement known as Neo-Expressionism. This striking piece is a figurative artwork, epitomizing the expressive human forms commonly explored within this genre.
The artwork depicts a solitary figure seemingly in motion, rendered in subdued and earthy tones. The figure is faintly sketched, suggesting fluid movement with a minimalistic yet evocative use of lines and shading. The background is awash in a muted, warm color, creating a stark contrast with the delicate blue hues outlining the runner. This minimalistic approach invites viewers to reflect on the profound sense of silence and solitude embodied in the motion captured on the canvas.
