The artwork 'Figure 1' depicts a crowd scene in muted tones, featuring individuals in flowing garments, including a central figure wearing a white floral-patterned dress. The oil painting showcases soft brushwork and atmospheric lighting, creating a dreamy, impressionistic quality. The composition captures movement and social interaction in an indoor setting with pillars. By Elody Gyekis.

Purchase

Elody’s Figures perfectly capture what it's like to lose faces in a crowd. The figures in her crowded scenes are blurred and gently distorted. Without faces, their clothes, color schemes, and poses identify their personality yet still mark them as an abstracted part of a collective.

The work comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.

We offer $50 standard shipping in the continental U.S. and $20 installation service in the NYC metro area. Return shipping is also $50, but waived if you rent for 6 months or longer. Just shoot us an email and we'll help you safely return the artworks.

Works in Brooklyn

Fairytales exist everywhere people have desires and dreams - and Elody is ready to listen to it. They may take the form of more traditional iconography like dragons and damsels, or something specific to the modern city like ghostly, faceless figures in the crowd. Both ways yield the view of human bodies as they are molded by images projected onto them by ourselves and by others.
