Description from the seller

-Vahe-André Hekimyan (Vahe Hekimian) "(Altınordu, Turkey 1913 – Saumur, France 1997)"\n\nUntitled, ca. 1960\nMixed media on canvas\nSigned bottom right\nDimensions: 33 × 24 cm\nSignature: Signed in the bottom right corner\n\n-Vahe-André Hekimyan (1913–1997) was a painter of Armenian origin born in Turkey who spent much of his career in France. Associated with the artistic milieu of the School of Paris, he was part of the generation of foreign artists who contributed to the cultural dynamism of the French capital in the 20th century.\n\nHis painting is characterized by a sensitive and expressive figuration, with particular attention to color, light, and the structural composition. Throughout his career he produced landscapes, intimate scenes, and figurative compositions, evolving toward an increasingly synthetic language.\n\n-The work starts from an abstract, material-character composition in which the artist develops a surface rich in texture through thick layers of paint. The piece revolves around a central structure of fragmented rectangular shapes reminiscent of a mosaic or assemblage of slabs. The palette, dominated by ochres, golds, and earth tones, creates contrast with the darker background and emphasizes the relief of the surface, imparting depth and a strong visual presence.
