Christian Gardair (b. 1938) A remarkable work by the distinguished French artist Christian Gardair, born on May 25, 1938, in the Blayais region of France. This piece is hand-signed and dated 1995, making it a significant and authentic example from his mature creative period. Gardair trained in Bordeaux between 1962 and 1964 under V.E. Calgagni, before a decisive encounter in 1964 with the celebrated painter Roger Bissière, which profoundly influenced his artistic vision. Since 1967, Gardair has worked 'on the motif'—in the Cézannian sense of the term—particularly inspired by the landscapes of the Gironde Estuary. At the same time, his career also connects him to the vibrant Parisian art scene, where he maintained a small studio on Rue de Seine and regularly exhibited at Galerie Olivier Nouvelet. His work has been acquired by numerous French and international collections, underlining his lasting reputation and importance within the fields of geometric and Concrete Art. At auction, Gardair’s paintings have achieved impressive results, reflecting both artistic recognition and market strength. A comparable work reached €3,900 in the past year, confirming both the desirability and investment potential of his oeuvre. This lot presents an excellent opportunity for discerning collectors to acquire an original work from an established name in postwar French abstraction. The painting will be professionally packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure secure delivery. Size with the frame: 25 x 20cm
