In The Voyeur, Miklós Németh employs the defining traits of Neo-Expressionism, combining them with a provocative, psychologically charged subject. The scene presents fragmented female nudes in vivid orange, yellow, and pink, set against the prominent face of an observer. The figures are deliberately simplified and distorted, shifting the focus to their emotional and symbolic resonance.
The brushwork is gestural, raw, and immediate—broad strokes, visible edges, and irregular fields of colour generate an energy that oscillates between confrontation and voyeurism. The bold, high-contrast palette intensifies the psychological tension of the image: sensuality and desire meet the detached yet present gaze of the voyeur. The Voyeur is not a work that seeks to please—it challenges, exposing the dynamics of looking and longing, and encapsulates the radical directness of Neo-Expressionism.
