Contemporary Mixed Media Abstract Figurative Portrait

This is a contemporary mixed media abstract figurative painting measuring 34 x 36 inches, created within the last year. The artwork features a central stylized figure against a multi-layered background, executed primarily in acrylics with visible impasto and drip techniques. The color palette is vibrant and eclectic, utilizing bold primary and secondary colors including heavy applications of yellow, teal, and a dominant red horizontal band across the center. Black graphic elements, such as the repetitive 'X' motifs near the top and various stenciled or stamped patterns on the periphery, provide a street art or Neo-Expressionist aesthetic. The central figure is rendered with a peach-toned facial area that appears obscured or blindfolded by the textured red bar. Gold-colored speckling or metallic flakes are integrated into the lower half of the composition, adding texture and sparkle. The work is in excellent, like-new condition with intentional expressive distress marks characteristic of the style. The canvas edges appear painted, suggesting it is intended for display without a formal frame. The craftsmanship is high-energy, prioritizing gestural movement and layering over representational accuracy, consistent with modern experimental art movements.
