A captivating piece with a gorgeous colour palette - a refined nude study by celebrated Auckland artist Russell Hollings.

A large scale work, in his skillful impressionist style - A contemporary to the late Garth Tapper, the influence of their friendship can be seen within the work.

Hollings is a master of atmosphere - executed in this painting with careful use of colour, and playful use of light.

“As a figurative painter, my method focuses on intense observation and application of the correct tonal values… I work all over the painting, ‘pulling’ the whole composition together to capture a moment in time”

“Mood, atmosphere, reflection of landscape and subtle distinctions are all significant factors within my thinking and working process as I endeavour to portray a greater sense of truth and honesty within my paintings.”

Hollings is an established artist, and his works are in high demand, being held in collections both locally and internationally. This is Hollings at his best, a large, and very respectable excellent example of his work, and an Auckland landscape, no less.
