ERIC MASSHOLDER (B. 1960) Intimate prayers
signed and dated ‘Massholder 92’ (along left edge)
pastel on paper
50 x 65 cm
executed in 1992
Provenance:
Private collection, South of France
In these earlier works, one can see Massholder’s fascination with strong, graphic lines, bold colours and sensuous forms. Colour is crucial in his works, and in Intimate Prayers the pop of red nail polish on the figure’s hands are a small but standout detail that makes the anonymous figure feel more like a real individual, heightening the sense of intimacy in the work.
