Description
Artwork created in 2017, at the heart of the 2016–2017 period, today almost entirely part of private collections. The pieces still available from this phase are now rare.
This painting is built around a vast matte blue field that frames a denser, almost explosive interior scene. This blue structure acts as an open frame, isolating and revealing the colorful energy that unfolds there.
Inside, bold greens, bright reds, luminous yellows and swift gestures overlap. A boldly asserted black line runs across the surface like a free-form mark, at the boundary between figuration and abstraction. The whole creates an immediate tension between restraint and excess.
The contrast between the calm blue plane and the vibrant pictorial space gives the work a strong presence in the space. Hung on the wall, it catches the eye with its clear structure, then holds attention with the richness of its details and its material.
The incisions in the still-wet paint, the overlaps and the graphic rhythms reinforce the depth and vitality of the surface. Nothing is decorative: everything contributes to a direct and self-assured energy.
This canvas ranks among the most open and dynamic works of that period. A piece that combines solid construction with gestural freedom, and that immediately asserts itself through its visual strength.
Very good state of preservation.
Original work created in 2017.
The frame visible in some photos is shown for illustration purposes. Since the sides are painted, the artwork can be hung as is, without a frame.
Biography
