About this artwork
Matey Mateev, the award winner of Oskar Kokoschka prize for contemporary art, has created a series of painting “The Woman with and without a halo”, executed in the technique of oil paints on sackcloth. The sack cloth, as a substance and color, is akin to the ground, to the soil. Thus, the clean and linear images in these amazing works of art are further enhanced. Matey does not idealize. His female large-scale personages stand before us nude, without…
shame or coyness, without the masks of false morality, true to themselves, on a pedestal and fallen from it, with or without a halo. In this stunning contemporary painting, the artist depicts a woman courted by a peacock. The vibrant distorted forms of a female and a bird that populate the canvas are painted by large brushstrokes in intense, bright colors.
