Abstracted Sleeping Female Figurative in Pastel on Paper

Vivid abstracted sleeping female figurative by Black Arts Bay Area artist, Kelvin Curry (American, 20th Century), circa 2000. A woman's sleeping on her side is shown in bold and playful colors of fluorescent purple, orange, pink and yellow. Black outlines of organic and tribal shapes creates even more contrast, making this piece read well from a distance. The tall and thin size of this piece makes this ideal for those difficult and odd sized walls
