RAPHAËL MONNET - JADE REMAINS - XXL

Unique and original work hand-painted by Raphaël Monnet

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

He approaches the canvas as an space for experimentation. The painting is projected, accumulated, and confronted with opposing colors. Impacts cross; certain areas densify while others allow the background 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 superposition of colors. His works have an immediate presence at a distance and reveal, when approached, 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 section is intended to be folded over the sides of the frame, without encroaching on the main composition.

Some images show the work in a setting to facilitate its projection into an interior. They are created with the ArtStage placement software which makes AI mockups. Proportions may slightly vary depending on staging. Please refer to the dimensions indicated 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 disappear naturally when the canvas is mounted under tension.

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

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

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