Bruce Novotny, Figurative Beach Scene, 1994 - This contemporary figurative painting is executed in oil or acrylic on board, depicting four stylized individuals on a beach. The composition features three women in the foreground, each wearing garments with distinct patterns: one in a black skirt with large yellow and white floral motifs, one in a white skirt with an embroidered hem and a blue top, and a third in an orange and white striped skirt holding a blue towel. A male figure stands in the mid-ground with his back to the viewer, looking out toward the sea. The background consists of a turquoise sea and a bright blue sky with white, textured clouds. The work is characterized by a bold impasto technique, providing significant texture to the ocher-colored sand and sky. The painting is signed and dated Bruce Novotny 94 in the lower right corner. It is housed in a simple, light-toned wood box frame. The reverse reveals a plywood panel support with a hanging wire, a small inventory label marked 251203 37, and a pencil inscription 13 x 13 1/2.
