About the Item

Spanish Expressionist Female Nude Interior Figurative Oil Painting 1981 Artist: Jordi Arrué Medium: Oil on canvas Date: 1981 (inscribed on reverse) Signature: Signed lower right “Arrue” Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm (13 × 16.1 in) Framing: Unframed Condition: Good overall condition. Thick impasto surface well preserved consistent with the artist’s technique DESCRIPTION Expressive figurative composition by Spanish painter Jordi Arrué, dated 1981, depicting a reclining female nude within an intimate domestic interior. The painting is characterized by a richly textured impasto technique applied with broad brushstrokes and palette knife, particularly visible in the handling of the drapery and the construction of the figure. This material approach places the work within the Mediterranean figurative tradition developed in Spain during the 1970s and 1980s. The chromatic dialogue between the pastel tonalities of the body and the structured presence of the deep red cabinet creates a balanced composition with strong visual rhythm and painterly presence. Rather than academic realism, the artist builds the figure through layered color planes and tactile gesture, emphasizing the physicality of paint as a structural element of the image. Reclining interior nudes constitute one of the most recognizable subjects within Arrué’s figurative production of this period. Signed and dated on the reverse: 1981. ARTIST BIO Jordi Arrué is a Spanish painter active in Catalonia during the second half of the twentieth century, known for his figurative interiors and female nude compositions executed with a gestural and materially expressive brushwork. His work belongs to the Mediterranean figurative tradition that remained active in Spain during the 1970s and 1980s, where color structure and surface texture play a central role in the construction of the image. Today his paintings are appreciated within the context of late twentieth-century Spanish figurative painting and continue to circulate in European private collections and the secondary art market. ARTISTIC CONTEXT This work reflects connections with: Joaquín Sorolla Manuel Hernández Mompó Mediterranean postwar figurative painting and belongs to the broader tradition of expressive European interior nude painting of the late twentieth century.

Seated Female Nude Oil Painting – Spanish Figurative Expressionist 20th Century

Seated Female Nude Oil Painting – Spanish Figurative Expressionist 20th Century

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Artist: Francisco Abad Doblas (Spain, b. 1933) Title: Seated Female Nude Date: 1975 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 65 × 81 cm (25.6 × 31.9 in) Signature: Signed upper right Framing: Unframed Condition: Very good. Firm canvas and stable paint layer with visible impasto. No apparent restorations. Period: 20th Century A striking seated female nude executed in oil on canvas by Spanish painter Francisco Abad Doblas. This powerful figurative composition presents a seated woman rendered with confident, textured brushwork and a vibrant chromatic palette. Flesh tones are constructed through layered strokes of pinks, ochres, greens and blues, creating both movement and depth. The cool-toned background enhances the warmth of the figure, reinforcing anatomical structure and spatial contrast. The painting reflects the Spanish post-impressionist figurative tradition of the mid-to-late 20th century, combining academic discipline with expressive painterly freedom. Particular attention is given to the modeling of the face and hands, demonstrating strong draftsmanship and studio practice. With its balanced 65 × 81 cm format and strong visual presence, the work functions as a statement piece within a refined contemporary interior or a collection focused on European figurative art. Francisco Abad Doblas (Spain, born 1933) is a Spanish figurative painter active during the second half of the 20th century. His work focuses on traditional genres such as landscape, still life and the human figure, developed through direct observation and a loose post-impressionist brushstroke. His paintings circulated through Spanish private galleries during the 1970s and 1980s and continue to appear in European secondary market sales, appreciated by collectors of academic and figurative Spanish art.
