Description from the seller
Yann Argentin born in 1971
stop represents a deserted avenue at night, a “STOP” painted on the ground in the foreground and steam rising from a sewer grate in the distance. The blue-green dominance, the paint drips that evoke the wetness of the asphalt and the very soft rendering of the façades create a cinematographic atmosphere, close to film noir, where only artificial lights pierce the darkness.
Yann Argentin fully aligns with the current of contemporary figuration with this impression of great aesthetic finesse. The work testifies to a remarkable compositional effort where the mastery of nuances creates a captivating visual dialogue.
The expressive force of the whole and the subtlety of the execution give this piece a remarkable presence. This is an ideal acquisition opportunity to enrich a discerning collection or to sublime a modern interior.
