PETIT MATIN represents a man walking alone on a sidewalk bathed in raking light, casting a very long shadow. The traffic signs are rendered with almost photographic precision. The contrast between the warm red of the passerby’s sweater and the cool grays of the architecture, as well as the meticulously rendered reflections on the ground, show a technique close to photorealism, with glazes layered to obtain the diffuse luminosity of the sky.

Yann Argentin fully aligns with the contemporary figurative movement with this impression of great aesthetic finesse. The work testifies to a remarkable compositional effort where mastery of nuances creates a captivating visual dialogue.

The expressive force of the whole and the subtlety of the execution confer a remarkable presence to this piece. It is an ideal acquisition opportunity to enrich a discerning collection or to sublime a modern interior.
