Laurent Anastay Ponsolle's oil painting on paper with pastel highlights, titled 'Sam, the delightful diva', signed by the artist, in the original edition, dated 2021, measuring 65 by 50 cm, with white, blue and turquoise colours, from France, a figurative expressionist portrait.
Description from the seller
Young artist exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in September 2025 on the occasion of the day dedicated to French Young Creation, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle is a French expressionist artist born in 1982. Drawing, painting, collage, performance are the languages he explores with force and spontaneity.
This work is an oil painting on paper with highlights of oil pastels. The whole has a very 'brut', 'raw and exposed', and 'sensitive' quality, traits inherent to German figurative expressionism, the movement in which the artist fully situates himself.
The work will be shipped in a cardboard tube with bubble wrap, quick and careful sending. It is also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist which will be sent by email.
Expressionism figuratif, Schiele, portrait, Munch, hands, anatomy, Kirchner
