AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jean-Louis Dhuit, known as KESTA (born 1936)
Untitled Composition, 2014
Geometric optical abstraction 80 × 80 cm
Untitled Composition
Jean-Louis Dhuit, known as KESTA (born 1936 in Goussainville)
2014
Mixed media / acrylic on panel
80 × 80 cm (work)
Original simple gray plastic frame, only there to complete the piece
Powerful geometric composition with colored bands – bright orange, turquoise, violet, black and blue – organized according to a radial and interwoven scheme that evokes both constructed abstraction, Op Art and a decorative graphic of the 1960s-70s.
The planes interlock, cut and rebound around a central axis, creating an effect of movement and depth without illusionistic perspective.
Small triangular mark with a dot at the bottom right.
On the verso, autograph inscription by the artist:
« Untitled Composition » 80 × 80
s/cp.
J.L. Dhuit known as KESTA
« Etagnon » 63600 AMBERT. 2014

The artist
Former student of the École Boulle and the Decorative Arts, Jean-Louis Dhuit had a career as chief set designer at ORTF from 1960 (variety shows, Guy Lux, Richard Anthony…).
He then settled in Etagnon, near Ambert (Puy-de-Dôme), and developed under the name Kesta a personal body of work: geometric abstraction, optical compositions, gestural series (« Pomp’Art » at the bicycle pump), allegorical figuration and landscapes. Regular exhibitions in the Livradois (Ambert, Marsac-en-Livradois).
Condition
Good overall condition. Some signs of use, small wear and surface soiling characteristic of an atelier work.
Original simple gray plastic frame, functional, only intended to finish the piece. Ready to hang (cord on the back).
Dimensions
Work: 80 × 80 cm
Framing: slightly larger (thin gray plastic moulding)
Provenance
Artist's studio, Ambert / Etagnon.
