AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jean-Pierre Dolla (1946) – France
Flaming Forest
Date: the 1970s
Technique: Oil on panel
Dimensions: 46 x 38 cm
Signature: Signed at the bottom right
Condition: Very good. Beautiful original colors, light age traces without impact on the work.
Provenance: France
Created during the 1970s, 'Flaming Forest' illustrates the period of maturity of Jean-Pierre Dolla, characterized by intense chromatic research and a free pictorial gesture.
The vertical composition features tree trunks standing like colorful rhythms, animated by a vibrant interior light. The palette, dominated by fiery reds, golden yellows, mauves, and deep blues, exudes an almost musical energy.
The material, dense and worked with broad strokes, reveals a spontaneous and expressive gesture. The contrasts between warm and cool areas structure the space and give the scene a luminous depth without relying on traditional perspective.
Nature here becomes a pretext for exploring pure color, transforming the forest into a field of emotions and sensations.
This work is part of the post-war French painting tradition, between lyrical figuration and colorful abstraction.
Through the density of matter and the vigor of the gesture, Dolla evokes the expressive power of Nicolas de Staël, while the luminous sensuality of his palette recalls Bonnard.
There is also a kinship with the research of Jean Bazaine and Hans Hartung, where nature becomes the support for liberated gestural writing.
The flamboyant forest testifies to Jean-Pierre Dolla's quest to reconcile emotion and structure, figuration and abstraction.
The forest, a recurring motif in his work, becomes here a symbol of vitality and light. Through the power of gesture and chromatic richness, Dolla transforms the landscape into a sensory experience where color becomes movement and emotion.
Artist Biography
Jean-Pierre Dolla was born in 1946 in Flayosc, Var. Trained at the Beaux-Arts in Toulon and then in Marseille, he quickly established himself as a rising figure in contemporary French painting.
Winner of the Critics' Prize in 1971, he began exhibiting in the early 1970s in several Parisian galleries, including the Galerie Saint-Placide.
Her work, inspired by Mediterranean light and southern landscapes, stands out for its chromatic intensity and assertive gestural writing, oscillating between figuration and abstraction.
Dolla has a career marked by the pursuit of color as a vehicle for emotion and artistic freedom.
