Blue III is the third instalment of the Blue series, which present human figures at the centre of the composition. Blue III depicts two women, their naked bodies twisting and bending against a bright blue background. Again van Son’s fascination with materiality is apparent, attested by the continuous alternation of different textures throughout the surface of the canvas: thick tridimensional impasto yields to large fields of thinly applied oil, while circular brushstrokes interrupt the composition. As in Untitled, thickly applied oil paint is superimposed on the figurative scene, effacing some sections and abstracting the figures. Rather than the subject matter, Van Son is interested in analysing how bodies behave within space, particularly that of the composition: her contorted figures fill up the canvas, seemingly wanting to burst out of the surface. The artist renders the figures entangled, abstract, incorrect and faceless; through this change and dynamism the bodies become the space.
