AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Flutist
Technical Data Sheet
Author: Bing (signed and dated 1996).
The Flutist of
Chronology: 1996.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Measurements: 70 × 60 cm (artwork)
sold without frame
Support: primed canvas
Style: Contemporary Neofauvista.
Condition: excellent; vivid chromatic material and vigorous inlay without alterations.
Compositional and iconographic description
The work features a central figure of a man sitting cross-legged, playing a white flute that extends vertically.
The background, rendered in warm tones of yellows, pinks, and oranges, seems to radiate from the musician himself, creating an atmosphere of sonic and spiritual vibration.
The body, treated with an expressive palette and thick brushstrokes, recalls the chromatic intensity of the French Fauves, especially Henri Matisse and André Derain, although with a greater symbolic weight.
The artist captures the moment of musical introspection, where sound and color merge into a single visual rhythm.
The composition lacks traditional perspective, focusing all its energy on the direct relationship between figure and background, in a kind of synesthetic harmony.
Style, Context, and Comparative Valuation
El Flautista del Alba is part of the neo-Fauvist movement of the late 20th century, inheritor of the emotional and unnaturalist color of historic Fauvism, reinterpreted with a more intimate and spiritual sensitivity.
The figure of the musician symbolizes the communion between art and inner nature, evoking the fusion of sound, movement, and pure emotion.
Due to its free use of color, gestural spontaneity, and visual lyricism, painting can be linked to the expressiveness of Georges Rouault, Emilio Grau Sala, or the poetic colorism of Rafael Canogar in his more figurative stages.
The work stands out for its human warmth and a poetic gesture that, beyond academicism, affirms the emotional power of color as a universal language.
A singular piece within contemporary neo-fauvism, combining Mediterranean sensitivity, expressive energy, and chromatic musicality.
