Painting

For his paintings, Neleman is working in a predominately grey scale palette. He creates lyrical dreamscapes where elegant body and head gestures emerge from abstract fields. The fluid brushstrokes give way to adumbral figures who are intertwined but detached. In contrast to his assemblages and collages, these works exude a sense of freedom and mystery. Neleman has metamorphosed the overt erotic undercurrents of his assemblages into sensual and romantic compositions.
