RAPHAËL MONNET - RAINY DAY - XXL

Unique and original work painted by hand by Raphaël Monnet

Raphaël Monnet develops contemporary abstract painting in which color becomes material, rhythm and movement.

He approaches the canvas as an experiment space. The painting is projected, accumulated and confronted with opposing colors. The impacts cross each other, some areas densify while others allow the ground to breathe.

His process does not rely on a pre-prepared image, but on a progressive construction. Each intervention leads to the next until an balance appears between apparent disorder and pictorial organization.

Based in the Léo Varek workshop in France, Raphaël Monnet continues his research around projection and color superposition. His works have an immediate presence at a distance and reveal, when you approach, a multitude of details, nuances and unexpected encounters between pigments.

Each canvas results from a unique process. The trajectory of projections, the distribution of matter and the interactions between colors can never be reproduced identically.

Format and presentation

The indicated dimensions correspond to the total size of the canvas. A painted peripheral part is intended to be folded over the sides of the frame, without encroaching on the main composition.

Some images show the work in situ to facilitate its projection into interior spaces. They are created with the ArtStage staging software which performs AI mockups. Proportions may slightly vary depending on the scenes. Please refer to the dimensions stated in the description to know the actual size of the work.

The edges are partially painted and allow for a clean finish after mounting.

Shipping

The work is shipped rolled in a rigid protective packaging, without stretcher or frame.

Slight creases may appear on receipt. This is perfectly normal for a canvas shipped rolled. These marks naturally disappear when it is put under tension.

For optimal results, it is recommended to have the canvas mounted on a frame by a local framer.

Shipments are made by express courier — DHL, FedEx or equivalent — with careful tracking until delivery.

Some destinations may incur additional shipping charges beyond my control. In that case, the buyer will be informed before shipment to adjust costs if necessary. Without approval of these charges, shipment cannot be made.
