Description from the seller
LEA RICHELIEU — RED #1 ABSTRACT, 2025
Original Textured Oil Painting on Circular Canvas — Ø 60 cm — Unique Work
THE ARTWORK
In Red #1 Abstract, Lea Richelieu transforms the physical texture of oil paint into a continuous movement of colour, relief and light.
Flowing strokes overlap across the circular canvas in deep crimson, muted red and burgundy tones. Smooth painted ridges rise from the surface, while narrow recesses retain darker shadows. As the direction of light changes, different curves become visible and the composition appears to move gradually across its surface.
The work balances intensity with restraint. Red provides an immediate emotional presence, yet the controlled rhythm of the brushwork creates a quieter and more meditative experience.
A CIRCULAR COMPOSITION
The circular format is essential to the artwork.
Without conventional corners or a fixed visual beginning, the composition encourages the eye to travel continuously from one gesture to another. The uninterrupted edge echoes the curved brushwork and strengthens the impression of perpetual movement.
Viewed from a distance, the painting appears as a unified field of red. At close range, it reveals tonal variations, layered oil paint, subtle shadows and individual traces of the artist’s hand.
The result is a work that changes with distance, ambient light and viewing angle. Its physical character and surface relief cannot be fully reproduced through photography.
RELAXING ABSTRACTION
Red #1 Abstract belongs to Lea Richelieu’s artistic approach known as Relaxing Abstraction.
Through measured gestures, layered oil paint and carefully balanced movement, the artist creates compositions that remain visually dynamic while preserving an atmosphere of stillness.
The work is not intended to represent a specific object or landscape. Instead, it invites slow observation, allowing colour, texture and rhythm to guide the viewer toward a personal emotional response.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lea Richelieu is a contemporary abstract painter based in Thailand.
After exploring hyperrealism and surrealism, she developed her distinctive language of Relaxing Abstraction. Working primarily in oil on canvas, she investigates the relationship between movement, harmony, tactile depth and contemplative stillness.
Her compositions are characterised by controlled gestures, sculptural brushwork and subtle variations that become increasingly visible with prolonged observation.
Richelieu’s work has been exhibited in more than ten countries, reflecting the international development of a practice in which technical precision and emotional calm remain closely connected.
