About the Item

This striking modernist painting combines abstract art with a touch of surrealism, creating a bold yet serene composition. Featuring vibrant colors, including golden ochre, verdant green, and deep black, it highlights a reclining figure rendered in minimalist linework. The exaggerated, dreamlike form evokes mid-century modern influences, while the red and green striped textile background adds a layer of cultural richness and textural intrigue. Subtle imperfections on the canvas lend it an authentic, vintage quality, making it ideal for collectors of unique contemporary art, figurative paintings, or regional-inspired works. This captivating piece invites interpretation, celebrating themes of introspection, comfort, and identity. A perfect addition to any luxury art collection, it’s a standout conversation piece for galleries, high-end interiors, or discerning collectors seeking one-of-a-kind fine art. The painting appears to be a blend of modernist and naïve art styles, with hints of surrealism. Its use of bold, simplified lines and flat areas of color reflects modernist sensibilities, while the exaggerated and almost childlike proportions of the figure align with the naïve or folk art tradition. The dreamlike abstraction of the subject and the surreal elements, such as the elongated features and stylized background, suggest surrealist influences. Overall, it is a unique fusion of these artistic styles, emphasizing emotion, simplicity, and cultural depth. This piece was sourced during a shopping trip in Mexico and came from the home of an artist at his estate sale. The back reads: Yessica Torres Lic. Turismo (Bachelor’s in Tourism, the artist’s background or degree) Tradición del arte Mexicano (Mexican Art Tradition, referring to the artistic style or theme) C.18 T/M (could be a reference to the piece’s catalog number, year, or medium: “T/M” might stand for “Técnica Mixta” or mixed media) This information adds a layer of provenance and context, suggesting that the piece was created by a Mexican artist who identifies with or celebrates traditional Mexican art. This insight enhances its cultural and collectible value. Dimensions: 13.75" Wide 17.75" Tall .5" Deep

Post Modern Figural Painting of a Woman by Clair Seglem
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Sourced from the estate of the late Oklahoma artist Clair Seglam. An airforce man for most of his life, Seglem only began painting after his retirement. Most known for his vibrant portraits and nudes, he completed a vast portfolio of work before he died in 2020. This piece is part of a collection that was found in one of his old sketchbooks. It was hidden away in our warehouse when we happened upon it during inventory one day. To our surprise, the notebook held a jewel box of unseen work. This piece is on a half sheet and combined with another painting. This piece appears to be a first or second draft of the other. It features a woman with dark black hair who wears a blue knee-length skirt and a red sleeveless top. She is barefoot and on a warm brown background. Upon purchase, this piece will be carefully cut from the companion piece, unless the buyer purchases...
