André Teleki (1928-1999) - 'Risques à Deux' - olieverf op doek

Magnificent naïve painting 'Risques à Deux' by André Teleki – Oil on canvas, Switzerland, 1973

Teleki belongs to the post-war generation of Swiss artists who combined form and color in a very personal way. His paintings are figurative, colorful and warmly vibrant in tone, with much attention to human figures and poetic scenes. The works exude optimism, humanity and lyricism.
Thanks to his numerous exhibitions and presence in Swiss museum collections, including Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva, and his regular strong sales at Swiss auctions, Teleki enjoys a loyal collector market. For the city of Geneva he also realized a monumental mural of 125 m².

This work, titled "Risques à Deux", is a wonderful example of Teleki’s naïve art, full of life, full of color.

An animated scene in a park, perhaps Paris: in the middle a acrobatic couple of tightrope walkers playfully in the air, as the title suggests. The woman wears a light pink dress and is carried by a clownish man in a bright orange sweater and striped pants. They balance a large, decorated pink parasol. In the background we see the characteristic roofs of Paris against an orange sky with a bright yellow sun. In the park there are also two figures playing.

The painting is in excellent condition and is framed in a beautiful classical gold frame with a dark wood inner border.

Dimensions incl. frame: H 74.5 x W 85.5
Dimensions without frame: H 52.5 x W 63

The work is signed by the artist in red lower left corner “teleki” and on the reverse titled "Risques à Deux, a. teleki, 1973".

Indeed a unique, valuable and powerful naïve art work with a magnificent and characteristic depiction of André Teleki’s sparkling world, perfectly suited to any classic, design or eclectic interior!
