André Teleki (1928-1999) - 'Risques à Deux' - olieverf op doek

Beautiful naïve painting 'Risques à Deux' by André Teleki – Oil on canvas, Switzerland, 1973

Teleki belongs to the generation of post-war Swiss artists who combined form and color in a very personal way. His paintings are figurative, colorful and ardently warm in tone, with much attention to human figures and poetic scenes. The works radiate optimism, humanity and lyricism. Thanks to his numerous exhibitions and presence in Swiss museum collections, including the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva, and his regular strong sales at Swiss auctions, Teleki enjoys a loyal collector’s market. For the city of Geneva he also created a monumental mural of 125 m².

This work, titled "Risques à Deux" is a wonderful example of Teleki’s naïve art, full of life and color.

An animated scene in a park, perhaps Paris: in the middle a acrobatic couple of tightrope walkers playfully hover in the air, as the title also suggests. The woman wears a light pink dress and is carried by a clownish man in a bright orange sweater and striped pants. They balance a large, ornate pink parasol. In the background we see the characteristic Parisian rooftops against an orange-red sky with a bright yellow sun. There are also two figures playing in the park.

The painting is in excellent condition and is framed in a beautiful classical gold frame with a dark wooden inner edge.

Dimensions incl. frame: H 74.5 x W 85.5

The work is signed by the artist in red lower left “teleki” and on the back titled "Risques à Deux, a. teleki, 1973".

Indeed a unique, valuable and powerful naïve art work with a magnifique and typifying representation of André Teleki’s sparkling world, perfectly suited to any classical, design or eclectic interior!
