Entitled THE RED CORRIDOR , this painting is an excuse for interpreting a female nude figure. The composition is theatrical and stage-like, mainly due to the imposing reds and the eerie setup of curtains that fill either side of the middle ground. On the other hand, the figure is sensual and unclothed, but for a pair of red socks. One could almost experience a ‘peeping Tom' sensation whilst standing in front of this painting.
