This style is defined by slashing gesture, smeared energy, and volatile layers of flesh-toned and acidic color that create restless painterly tension. It translates de Kooning’s aggressive sensuality into watercolor through wet abrasion, broken contours, and a surface that feels unstable, urgent, and vividly alive.

Sculptural drapery, solemn compression, and grave emotional clarity give this style its carved devotional presence. The image feels weighty, restrained, and reverent, with forms arranged like sacred reliefs in lucid stillness.
