Having recently done a post for my Albanian woodcarver/Pipemaker friend Sidrit Skender Vaqari (HERE), I thought I'd give another shout out to the double-eagle in the form of contemporary artist Artur Muharremi. Normally a painter of colourful abstractions, to me his interesting works are his nudes. They're brash, they're stark, and in spite of some of the angles he presents them in (I don't have any of the more extreme ones here), I don't find them particularly sexual. Perhaps that's just me. I just admire the blankness and frankness of the colours; idiosyncratic and highly contrasting choices, across the board.
His work reminds me of the illustrator Robert Mcginnis, who was also famous for nudes with atypical colour schemes. I don't know much about Muharremi other than what I see, though I believe that his career started when the Communists were in control of the country, and crossed into the relative freedom of current times.
He's on Facebook, and you can see (and purchase) more of his work HERE
