Hollandse School (XX) - Untitled

Very large expressive abstract-figurative painting – 20th century

A powerful and monumental abstract-figurative painting that some associate with the well-known Floris Jespers, one of the leading representatives of Belgian modernism. The work presents an intense composition of vertically arranged figures and brushstrokes, executed in a sober yet extremely expressive color palette of black, white, and subtle accents.

The composition teeters on the boundary between abstraction and figuration, evoking a sense of collective presence and existential tension. The paint is thick and paste-like, with clearly visible traces of the making process, giving the work a raw, authentic appearance. The composition closely aligns with the postwar, more introspective period within Belgian modernist painting.

The painting is executed on a sturdy panel measuring no less than 120 cm and is fitted with a frame. Its large size gives the work a strong visual impact and makes it a striking eye-catcher and conversation piece in any interior or art collection.
