Full Figure, Finger to Eye, Hand on Opposite Thigh, Foot Behind Bottom
2021
A slender, stylized figure strikes an elongated and precise pose against a flat, neutral background, rendered in Haldeman's signature smooth, graphic aesthetic. The figure's gesture—finger raised to eye, hand resting on the opposite thigh, foot tucked behind the bottom—feels simultaneously clinical and theatrical, suggesting both careful self-examination and performative display. Haldeman's meticulous application of acrylic creates a polished, almost airless surface that heightens the tension between the figure's composed artificiality and its curiously intimate gesture.
