Description of the work

A large, dynamic composition by Gundi Falk, circa 2000.

On a cream-white background, a figure with tubular volumes in yellow, red and blue unfolds in a broad gesture, arm raised, face reduced to a few signs.

Beside it, a form of a bird — or creature — rises, while two black wheels anchor the scene in a blue cart. The drawing, drawn with a generous, spontaneous black line, structures the blocks of primary colors.

The overall evokes clearly Fernand Léger’s universe — cylindrical volumes, primary palette, black outline — with a freer, more playful, almost Miró-esque freedom in the bird and the composition’s imbalance.

The artist, a former contemporary dancer, translates the body and movement here through the rhythm of the gesture rather than by anatomy.

A striking piece, in generous XXL format (116 × 100 cm), faithful to the graphic energy and chromatic force that run through Gundi Falk’s work.

Biographies of the artist
Gundi Falk, born in 1966 near Salzburg, Austria, is a complete visual artist: painter, draftsman, sculptor and former contemporary dancer.

Her work explores movement, rhythm, space and organic forms, at the border between abstraction and figuration.

Since 2011, she collaborates with experimental photographer Pierre Cordier on chemigrams.
Exhibitions (selection):

• Hosting, CENTRALE for Contemporary Art, Brussels

• David Nash, Pierre Cordier & Gundi Falk: Index and Icon, Haines Gallery, San Francisco (2015)

• Variations & Transmutations, Ateliers Mommen / Gallery Angelinna, Brussels (2020)

• Galerie Pierre Hallet, Entrelacs, Brussels

• Château de Karreveld, The Abyss of Time (Biennial of Photography), Brussels

• Galerie Marschner, Lebenslinien, Wels (Austria, 2025/26)

• RSF - A Mouvable Gallery, Expériences 1#, Paris
And numerous solo and group exhibitions in Belgium, France, Greece, Luxembourg and Austria.

This composition in primary colors, both architectural and free, will be a true focal point in a contemporary interior.

Its generous format, Léger-like lineage and Miróesque whimsy make it a very striking statement piece.
