Abstract Figurative Acrylic Canvas Painting

This is an original contemporary acrylic painting on a vertically oriented stretched canvas, depicting an abstract silhouette of a human torso. The composition features a central, vibrant figure rendered with thick, expressive impasto brushstrokes in a palette dominated by purples, magentas, violets, and teals, with accents of orange and gold. These rhythmic, vertical strokes create a sense of movement and contouring that defines the anatomical shape against a flat, solid black background. The application of paint suggests a modern, neo-expressionist style, possibly influenced by fauvism in its use of non-representational color. The canvas appears to be a standard studio-grade stretched fabric over a wooden frame. No visible artist signature or date is discernible on the front of the piece. The condition appears fair to good with no immediate signs of cracking or flaking; however, the paint application is heavy and textured. The edge work appears somewhat unfinished, typical of contemporary amateur or student works. There is light surface glare suggesting a semi-gloss finish or varnish, indicating the work is relatively recent, likely dating from the 21st century. The craftsmanship emphasizes texture and emotional color over precision.
