Description from the seller
This work is called Outback and is a graphic work by Dominique Chan. It seems inspired by his travels through Australia, one of the regions where Chan absorbed impressions of other landscapes and cultures. In the image, a human figure is rendered with thick, black lines, surrounded by loose planes in red, orange, yellow, green and blue. The figure is not depicted realistically, but drawn quickly and spontaneously. The bright colors, black lines and seemingly random shapes create a lot of energy and movement. At the same time, a large part of the paper remains white, making the colors and lines stand out even more. The work thus almost resembles a colorful page from a travel diary.
Dominique Chan was born in 1950 in Quimper, France, the son of a Chinese father and a French mother. After traveling for several years through Europe, he settled in Amsterdam in 1975 and studied at the Rietveld Academie from 1980 to 1985. Later he made trips to, among other places, China, where he deepened his knowledge of the Chinese language, culture and calligraphy. He also traveled through other parts of Asia, America and Australia. These different cultures and travel experiences are important sources of inspiration for his art. His work is characterized by bold colors, spontaneous lines and expressive forms and is associated with abstract expressionism.
Dimensions: 50 x 40 cm
Dimensions with frame: 71 x 59 cm
