About the Item
Dave Seeley's "Fire Starter" is an exquisite example of nude figure oil painting artistry, masterfully rendered on canvas mounted on board. Created in 2017, this artwork measures 40 x 30.50 x 1 inches (101.60 x 77.47 x 2.54 cm), and the piece is elegantly framed with the dimensions extending to 47.75 x 39 inches.
The painting depicts a powerful image of a nude female figure, captured in a dynamic pose with her hands conjuring a blazing trail of fire. The contrast between the subject's smooth, luminous skin and the vibrant, wild flames she generates emphasizes the theme of elemental control and the raw power of nature harnessed by human touch. The dark, textured background provides a stark canvas that throws the dramatic interplay of light and shadow into sharp relief, accentuating the muscular definition and the graceful curves of the figure.
Seeley's work is known for its vibrant energy and the depth of its realism, and "Elemental Fire Starter" is a prime example of his skill. The piece is a primary market work, available directly from the artist to the gallery, ensuring its provenance and uniqueness. The thoughtful framing of the artwork not only protects it but also enhances its striking presence, making it a significant acquisition for collectors and a focal point in any art collection.
Artist Statement:
I’m obsessed with timeless “elemental” relationships to our world, and the alchemical way our minds form imperfect explanations and stories of them. FireStarter is about the thrill, the power, and the fear of her Promethean gift. -Dave Seeley
