05 Paintings, The Art Of The Nude, Hilo Chen’s sunbathing on beaches or lounging in the Bath, with footnotes # 174

A first-generation photorealist, Hilo Chen is best known for his Pop art-reminiscent paintings of female figures sunbathing on beaches or lounging by pools. His highly sexualized figures often appear topless or nude and in close-up views, with the texture of their skin rendered in meticulous detail. Despite his focus on the female body, Chen says of his paintings: “Color and space. That is what they are about. I work for every detail in the space and want to show the depth of the scene.” More on Hilo Chen
