Alfred Boman — Body Paint #4
Alfred Boman

Body Paint #4

Alfred Boman's *Body Paint #4* is a multilayered work on linen that combines glue emulsion, acrylic, enamel varnish, and spraypaint to explore the tactile and visual boundaries between surface and skin. The interplay of industrial and painterly materials creates a tension between the organic and the synthetic, evoking associations with cosmetics, coatings, and the dressed or adorned body. The result is a richly textured composition that blurs the line between painting as object and painting as act.
