{"product_id":"abstract-geometric-splits","title":"Abstract Geometric Splits","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe body, at its limits, becomes something else entirely — a shape that transcends anatomy, a form that belongs as much to geometry as to flesh. \u003cem\u003eAbstract Geometric Splits\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eManasseh Johnson Sr.\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a figure at the furthest reach of physical extension and renders it as something between a sculpture, a diagram, and a deeply human image of strength and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA woman performs a full side split on a clean white ground, her legs extending outward to both edges of the composition in a wide, controlled arc. Her torso is folded forward and inward over her crossed arms, her face concealed behind a black geometric mask — a large oval form flanked by smaller diamond shapes — that gives the figure the quality of a ritual object, an athlete at the height of her discipline, a figure from mythology who has chosen not to be named. The hands, visible at the top of the composition, curl loosely over the mask with elegant, relaxed fingers. The pose is simultaneously one of maximum physical effort and complete stillness — the legs perfectly extended, the torso perfectly still, the whole body held in a balance that speaks of years of practice and absolute physical command.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManasseh Johnson Sr. renders the body in his characteristic geometric idealisation: the warm brown skin tones move from golden highlight to deep copper shadow with extraordinary luminosity, while the limbs and torso are simplified into clean geometric forms — the thighs are smooth curved planes, the arms create sharp diagonal lines, the whole figure reads as both anatomically present and architecturally abstracted. The black geometric mask at the centre of the composition is the compositional key — by concealing the face, it redirects all attention to the body’s extraordinary geometry, making the shape rather than the identity the subject of the work. The flat white ground gives the figure nowhere to hide and nowhere to disappear — it is simply, completely, entirely itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palette is as restrained and powerful as any in the Manasseh Johnson Sr. collection. The warm, luminous brown of the skin — richly rendered, moving through a full tonal range from highlight to deep shadow — against the clean white background creates a composition of exceptional clarity and warmth. The deep matte black of the geometric mask provides the single note of contrast that holds the composition in perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbstract Geometric Splits\u003c\/em\u003e works beautifully in a living room or studio, where the combination of figurative mastery and geometric boldness creates a focal point of genuine visual and intellectual interest. In a home gym, yoga space, or dance studio, the subject matter resonates with the discipline, the body awareness, and the physical commitment that those spaces celebrate. In a bedroom, the figure’s quality of absolute physical self-possession creates an atmosphere of confident, grounded calm. Manasseh Johnson Sr.’s warm brown and white palette pairs beautifully with natural wood, cream and sand tones, and any interior that values warmth, clarity, and the quiet authority of the human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is produced on \u003cstrong\u003epremium matte paper\u003c\/strong\u003e, which captures the full tonal depth and warmth of Manasseh Johnson Sr.’s figurative surface. The skin tones are rendered with all their luminosity and tonal range, the geometric mask is clean and precise, and the extended legs reach to both edges of the composition with a physical presence that is genuinely impressive at any scale. The non-reflective finish gives the print a sculptural quality that is very close to the original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbstract Geometric Splits\u003c\/em\u003e is available in six sizes: \u003cstrong\u003eA4, 30x40, 40x50, 50x70, 70x100 and 100x140 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. In smaller formats, the contained geometry of the pose and the warmth of the palette make it a striking and characterful addition to any gallery wall. In larger sizes, the legs extend across the full width of the print with genuine physical drama, and the figure’s presence becomes truly monumental — a body at its absolute limit, held there with complete control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor framing, we recommend a \u003cstrong\u003eslim black frame\u003c\/strong\u003e to echo the geometric mask and give the print a clean, contemporary gallery finish. A \u003cstrong\u003enatural wood frame in oak or warm walnut\u003c\/strong\u003e also works beautifully, complementing the warmth of the skin tones and giving the composition an organic warmth that softens the geometric precision without diminishing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbstract Geometric Splits\u003c\/em\u003e by Manasseh Johnson Sr. is a portrait of the body at its most disciplined, most extended, most completely itself — a figure who has made of her physical limits a form of genuine beauty. It is art that asks you to look at strength differently, and rewards you for doing so.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HelloPoster x artists","offers":[{"title":"A4","offer_id":54046166876507,"sku":"2567011-A4","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x30","offer_id":54046166909275,"sku":"2567011-30x40","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x40","offer_id":54046166942043,"sku":"2567011-40x50","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x50","offer_id":54046166974811,"sku":"2567011-50x70","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100x70","offer_id":54046167007579,"sku":"2567011-70x100","price":69.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"140x100","offer_id":54046167040347,"sku":"2567011-100x140","price":89.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/5138\/5179\/files\/Abstract_Geometric_Splits_Manasseh_Johnson_Sr..jpg?v=1789459384","url":"https:\/\/helloposter.com\/products\/abstract-geometric-splits","provider":"HelloPoster.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
