Franck Duminil (1933-2014) - Composition abstraite

Franck Duminil (1933-2014)\n\nMixed technique on Arches paper\nSigned bottom right\nBack: signed and dated 27-12-1979\nDimensions: 77 × 57 cm\n\nThis original work by Franck Dumilil is part of a gestural and minimalist inquiry, where the spontaneity of the line dialogues with mastery of space.\n\nThe composition develops around a play of dynamic lines, projections and curved shapes in balance, in a deliberately restrained palette of blacks, greys and light accents of ochre and red. The artist exploits emptiness as a structuring element, giving the whole a breathing space and visual tension characteristic of lyrical abstraction of the late 20th century.\n\nThe traces, scratches and superpositions testify to instinctive yet controlled work, where movement seems suspended. Arches paper, renowned for its museum-grade quality, adds depth and subtlety to the texture effects.\n\nAn elegant and expressive work, representative of Franck Dumilil's abstract work at the end of the 1970s.\n\nOverall good condition (see photos)
