About the artwork:
Sam Francis is represented in the world’s major international museums, such as the Guggenheim Museum (New York), the MoMA (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Tate Modern (London), the SFMOMA and LACMA, making him not only a leading figure of post-war abstraction but also a very solid investment on the art market.
Sam Francis is the light that explodes in abstraction. A painter of cosmic breath, of broad gesture, of energy-charged emptiness. Heir to American abstract expressionism, he paints as we breathe — in flashes, in silences, in vibrant saturations. Each canvas is a field of intensity where white is never empty, but waiting, and where color describes nothing — it embodies.
Francis does not compose, he allows to come about. And it is in this suspension, between chaos and balance, that the work finds its strength.
An art of breath, rhythm, the invisible made visible.
