two woman figures sitting at the back of the canvas

two woman figures sitting at the back of the canvas, 2019

Charcoal on the reverse of canvas, 65 × 90 cm (25 ⅝ × 35 ⅜ in). Painting by Yiğit Özen (decentralize*).

Charcoal drawing on off-white canvas, split into two panels by a vertical wooden stretcher bar, with further bars framing the outer edges and staples running down the left and right sides. In the left panel a nude figure sits on a straight-backed chair in three-quarter view, one arm raised to the head, one leg stretched out to the left, the other bent under the seat. In the right panel a second nude figure stands frontally, arms drawn behind the back, knees bent, feet flat and broad. Both are worked in dense hatching with heavy dark contour lines.

The stretcher bars and the central rail are visible just as they are; two female figures are drawn in charcoal on the unpainted back face of the canvas, that is the side normally left turned to the wall.
