Woman in Yellow and a Cat, by Ben Gertsberg - original charcoal and acrylic painting on canvas.original acrylic and charcoal painting on canvas, size 20"x24" - from Objective Abstract Art series.

Enjoy this original art piece with expressive composition, in deliberately limited color palette of grey and bright yellow. Participate in a gentle moment of connection between two living beings beautifully captured by the artist. The semi-abstract figure of an old woman in a gown is towering over a white cat. The aging lady is leaning on a cane while touching the cat who is looking up at her. This moving scene with a human and an animal feels somewhat surreal yet filled with real emotions - affection, loneliness and longing for the past.

The longer you look at this somewhat surreal figurative art piece, the more you want to know the characters and their story, which would probably suggest more questions than answers and may just end up being a hyperbole or a sort of exaggeration.

Charming and enigmatic, the painting is done in yellow, light blue, light green and gray color palette. The choice of pastel colors seems to soften the tension of the scene, where each of the depicted subjects strikes a dramatic pose.

Please note that due to differences in monitor calibration, the colors may look slightly different on the original painting than they do here.
