RED DISCIPLINE IV – Body as Icon · 2026

70.0 x 100.0 cm

RED DISCIPLINE V – Body as Icon is an acrylic painting committed to one closed red color world — no color escape, no neutral. A reclining torso becomes an iconic form: not a nude study, but a body reduced to silhouette, light, and rhythm. The composition is organized around a single focal point — the rim-light edge along the upper contour — where contrast is highest and edges are most decisive. Everything else follows: soft volume in the belly, a quiet drapery field to the right, and a rhythmically textured ground that carries the eye without competing. Values build the body. Edges carry the hierarchy. The red field holds it all together. One body. One red. One statement.
