Alex Katz's Ariel 4, 5 (Suite), 2021, diptych woodcut with stylized portraits of a woman against beige and red backgrounds, 45.7 x 40 cm each.

Woodcut on Somerset Satin White 300gsm fine art paper // Alex Katz's Ariel 4, 5 (Suite) (2021) is a limited edition woodcut print that demonstrates his expertise in capturing the essence of portraiture with bold simplicity and elegance. The diptych, printed on Somerset Satin White 300gsm fine art paper, features two distinct portraits of Ariel, each measuring 45.7 x 40 cm. The left portrait presents Ariel against a warm beige background, while the right portrait contrasts with a vibrant red background. Both images highlight Katz's characteristic use of flat planes of color and clean, minimalist lines to emphasize the contours of the face and hair. The woodcut technique imparts a textured quality, with the natural grain of the wood subtly visible, adding depth and a tactile dimension to the prints. Katz’s reduction of details and focus on essential forms lend the work a timeless and graphic quality, capturing the subject's elegance and poise in an iconic manner. The suite exemplifies Katz's unique ability to merge modernist simplicity with expressive portraiture.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
