Description from the seller
Bernard Pianta (born 1948) - Dancer with the blue drape - Mixed technique
This figurative and theatrical work depicts a female figure with a bare bust, wearing an imposing wig, outlining a dance step. The dynamic figure holds a fluid drapery in an intense turquoise blue, creating a strong chromatic contrast with the background. The background, structured by an architectural arch, is dominated by yellow ochre tones and brushwork that conveys an intimate cabaret or performance-stage atmosphere. The painterly touch is both textured and graphic, typical of the artist's narrative compositions.
Bernard Pianta, born in 1948, is a French contemporary painter and illustrator. Coming from a family of craftsmen, modellers, and draftsmen, he first made his mark in the world of press drawing and publishing in Paris before devoting himself fully to painting in his Perche Artsper studio. His assured figurative style blends classicism and modernity, frequently exploring themes related to everyday life, show business, and the human figure (Paris Normandie). His works are distinguished by their ability to evoke a strong visual narrative and to engage the viewer (Paris Normandie).
Characteristics of the work:
• Dimensions: 32 x 22 cm
• Signature: Signed by the artist 'Pianta' at the bottom right.
• Era: Late 20th century / Contemporary
• Condition: Good overall condition, original colors well preserved, presented under glass and framed.
• Provenance: Private collection.
Careful packaging and tracking.
