AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas – 100 × 100 cm
This oil on canvas by Bertrand Thomassin perfectly illustrates his bustling, instinctive, and deeply narrative universe. The composition gathers a multitude of characters, faces and symbols that seem to inhabit a single mental space. The large central figure, treated with a free and expressive gesture, converses with a series of silhouettes, animals, childlike drawings, and fragmented scenes that invite the gaze to travel endlessly across the canvas.
The artist blends spontaneous writing, vivid colors and layering of materials to build a work where every detail tells a story. The whole oscillates between naively figurative, outsider art, and contemporary expressionism, offering a reader that is constantly renewed. The chromatic contrasts, the vigor of the line, and the richness of textures confer on this composition a particularly striking energy.
Both playful and deeply human, this work probes emotions, memory and the relationships between individuals. Its square format of 100 × 100 cm enhances its visual impact and makes it an emblematic piece of Bertrand Thomassin’s oeuvre.
Biography of the artist
Born in 1963, Bertrand Thomassin is a French artist trained at the Beaux-Arts de Rouen from 1981 to 1983. His work continues the spirit of the Free Figuration, while developing a very personal language blending painting, sculpture and assemblage.
His work is characterized by a great gestural freedom, a rich iconography and an intuitive approach to composition. Expressive faces, silhouettes, animals and scenes of life mingle in dense worlds where humor, poetry and a critical eye on the human condition coexist. Regularly exhibited in France and Europe, Bertrand Thomassin is today recognized for his distinctive, immediately identifiable style, which combines spontaneity, expressive power and narrative richness.
