Original artwork description:

This painting depicts a woman reclining to the left in a post deconstruction era rendition of a classic odalisque pose. Though the female figure in this case is painted with raw, expressive paint handling, rendering the form less obvious and somewhat obscured, the voluptuousness of her figure, along with the color and inviting gesture of her pose indicates radiance, warmth and accessibility.

Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
