Original vertical abstract figurative painting by Purvis Young, the influential Miami-based artist known for his emotionally charged, socially driven imagery and raw, expressive style. This work depicts a lone elongated figure rendered with gestural brushwork and layered textures against a luminous, distressed ground. The narrow format enhances the sense of movement and isolation, hallmarks of Young’s visual language. Executed on board and presented in a simple wood frame that complements the work’s gritty, urban aesthetic. A compelling example of Purvis Young’s recognizable and collectible oeuvre.
