Description from the seller
CARLO MONTE (1961) - The Racing Queen - Mixed media on canvas
Mixed media, Acrylic painting · Digital painting · Hand-signed · 2026
Gloved in white, helmeted in leather, pilot-style goggles lifted to the forehead, a woman grips the steering wheel of a race car as one holds the reins of destiny. Her gaze slides to the side, proud and determined, while the light silk scarf carves the air around her neck. Behind her, the sky and mountains crystallize into a kaleidoscope of blue, gray, and silver facets, pure Art Deco language where speed becomes geometry. The garnet bodywork and the gleaming chrome frame this modern muse, a figure of an era tinted with engines, pure lines, and emancipation. Everything here breathes the Roaring Twenties: refined elegance, Cubist glamour, the audacity of a woman at the wheel who regards the future without blinking.
Technique: mixed media: acrylic painting on pigment ink print, varnished.
Varnish applied by hand, for depth of color and lasting protection of the work.
Support: premium canvas stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
Format: 40x60
Signed CARLO MONTE · Galerie Labo Joconde / Atelier Joconde · certificate of authenticity provided.
CARLO MONTE is one of the creations bringing together artists Le Yack, Neo Pablo and Popsan within Atelier Joconde, a family studio where three sensibilities coexist: neo-realism, pop, and free figuration. Under the name CARLO MONTE, the Atelier revives the Art Deco Golden Age and the glamour of the 1930s: geometric figuration, crystalline facets, sculptural shaping, and mechanical elegance, in the tradition of the great cubist muses of the interwar period.
CARLO MONTE gathers figures captured in the éclat of the Roaring Twenties: modern women, gleaming machines, faceted décors, where pure line and cool color celebrate speed and emancipation. The through-line: a dialogue between Art Deco heritage and a contemporary gaze, where the pictorial material enhances and transforms the printed image.
Each work is a unique piece.
