Climb is an original oil painting by artist Lauren Skunta, who works under the moniker Elbowgrease. Skunta is inspired by the negative space our bodies form through different positioning. 

Skunta aims to capture the gesture of a pose by focusing on areas of tension, a shift in weight, or space. Though her brushwork is impressionistic, the anatomy is grounded in reality. The use of raised texture in background areas shifts the viewer’s focus from subject to composition and back again, bridging the gap between purely figurative and abstract composition.

Shipping: Due to the specialty and oversized nature of the piece, a special handling surcharge will be separately assessed based on destination and desired shipping arrangement. One of our client specialists will email you to coordinate.
