AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Albert PROUX (Born in 1943)
L’Obstacle

Technique: Alkyd painting on panel.
Dimensions: 14 x 19 cm (sight).
Inscriptions: Signed at bottom left.
Titled on the back in the artist's hand at top left: “L'obstacle”.
Counter-signed on the back: “A. Proux”.
Annotated on the back by the artist: “ALKYD colour - format 14 x 19”.
Presence of the artist's workshop stamp on the back: “ATELIER D'ART A.M. PROUX, 8, Bvd. Thiers, 64500 St-Jean-de-Luz”.
Frame: Presented in a substantial frame with wooden channel mouldings and gilded stucco in a classic style.

Description: An emblematic painter of the Basque Country, Albert Proux offers here an intimate work of great evocative power, capturing the quintessence of equestrian dynamics.
Through a vigorous and textured brushwork characteristic of his knife work, the artist translates the precise instant of the jump. The incandescent silhouette of the rider in a red jacket rises above a semi-abstract composition in ochre, purples and deep tones, materializing all the energy and tension of show jumping.

Condition: Good condition, sound paint layer, original impasto preserved

Albert Proux, well known in the region, ran for several years two painting galleries in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and created several frescoes. This artist has participated in numerous exhibitions, in France as well as the United States, Germany, and Japan. Jacky Coumet, who has recently become a regular exhibitor, possesses undeniable talent. Pastel, watercolour, knife painting, as many techniques as he enjoys exploring.
