Nude Woman Crawling

A striking contemporary figurative painting of a nude woman captured mid-crawl, rendered in bold, flat tones and framed by a vivid red border that intensifies the composition. The warm orange background contrasts with the patterned green floor beneath her, highlighting the soft, papery skin tones and simplified geometry of her form. Her delicate pose — face turned slightly, arms supporting her weight while her legs bend beneath her — evokes a sense of poised vulnerability and intimate introspection. With its minimalist lines, saturated colors, and stylized execution, this piece is perfect for anyone seeking modern wall art, original nude artwork, or bold statement pieces to elevate a living space. Add a touch of provocative elegance and contemporary flair to your home or studio with this unique original painting.

This painting is not titled, but is signed by the artist, and authenticated with his red signature seal.

About the artist...

The artist goes by the name (Mo Nong). He lives in Beijing, the capital city of China.

This general style of painting that falls between modern art and folk art is done by many artists in China. Once the last modern I worked with retired, it took years to find another that I was really happy with. Finally, in 2012, I walked into the studio of Mo Nong, and found what I was looking for. His variety of composition and painting style make all of these paintings instant classics.

About the art...

Mo Nong uses paint power and water (similar to gouache) to get vivid colors. This is applied to handmade xuan paper (often called rice paper, though there's no rice in it). When I took these painting to my workshop, they were mounted with a silk brocade border. This border can be used in lieu of matting when you frame this artwork.
