Breakers 2017

"Breakers" (2017) by Aaron Nagel (b. 1980) is a realist painting depicting a nude woman partially draped in white fabric. The woman sits in a pose that is both alluring and contemplative, her gaze directed outward at the viewer. The backdrop is a stark, geometric pattern in shades of black and white, creating a stark contrast to the soft curves of the figure. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and precise brushstrokes create a sense of realism and intimacy, drawing the viewer into the subject's world. This work highlights Nagel's signature style of exploring the human form through the lens of contemporary realism.
