This expressive figurative work by Herwig Kaschinski presents a seated nude rendered in oil on coarse jute canvas, a material the artist began exploring in the 1970s and which became a defining element of his practice. Signed 'Herwig' on the back of the stretcher frame, dated (1979) titled and inscribed 'Munich'.
The textured surface lends the composition a tactile immediacy, allowing the paint to interact dynamically with the woven ground and enhancing the raw, physical presence of the figure.
Kaschinski’s treatment of the human form balances sensitivity with structural strength, emphasizing contour and posture rather than decorative detail. The restrained palette and visible brushwork underscore his interest in materiality and gesture, aligning the work with post-war European expressionist traditions.
Born in Szczecin and later active in Germany, Kaschinski exhibited widely throughout the 1970s and beyond, with shows in Hanover, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Munich. Now based in Munich as a freelance artist, his works are held in numerous public and private collections, reflecting a career dedicated to the exploration of surface, form and painterly presence.
