Louis Gerbaud (XX) - Un monde inconnu

Louis GERBAUD (20th century) - "Un monde inconnu" (1980) - Original oil on canvas with atelier stamp (55x46 cm)

Exceptional and fascinating original oil painting on canvas by the French artist Louis Gerbaud, dated 1980.
This singular work plunges the viewer into a graphic universe of rare density, characteristic of Brut Art and Visionary Art productions from the last third of the 20th century. The composition is saturated with geometric motifs, vibrant cellular structures and red and yellow vegetal or tentacular excrescences that seem to come alive on the canvas. Tubular shapes and multicolored concentric circles (blue, pink, ochre) encircle the heart of the composition, creating a sense of movement and hypnotic depth.
The meticulous texture work and the obsessive repetition of motifs attest to a raw artistic approach, with great psychological and decorative power.

Provenance and exceptional traceability:
The work benefits from ideal traceability for collectors and experts: it is signed and dated at the bottom right of the composition, and completely counter-signed on the back of the canvas by the artist himself.
The back also bears the official Louis Gerbaud atelier stamp as well as his original studio inventory number, attesting to its direct provenance from the painter's estate.
