Description from the seller
Marcus de Vestele (1941-2024)
Figurative composition Cobra with two figures
Watercolour, ink and gouache on paper, circa 1975-1978
Signature: studio seal on the back “Marcus de Vestele – Atelier de l’artiste”
Dimensions: 54 × 44 cm
Sold unframed
Condition: Good overall. Studio paper with slight irregularities, creases and signs of use typical (visible in photos).
Provenance: Artist’s studio Marcus de Vestele.
Beautiful figurative Cobra composition by Marcus de Vestele, dateable circa 1975-1978.
Two juxtaposed forms dominate the sheet. On the left, a stylised anthropomorphic figure, treated in warm tones of orange, yellow and earth, stands out with a strong network of nervous, expressive black lines. On the right, a second motif, more vertical and framed in black, contrasts an intense blue area with touches of yellow and ochre, punctuated by an abstract sign almost calligraphic.
The gesture is free, rapid and full of primitive energy. The saturated colors, spontaneous line and simplification of forms perfectly capture the Cobra movement’s spirit: spontaneity, vitality and direct expression.
Biography
Marcus de Vestele (1941-2024) is a major Belgian artist, primarily recognized as a marble sculptor (notably in Carrara and with Bardiglio marble).
Parallel to his sculptural practice, he developed throughout his life a significant pictorial production, long kept confidential and today highly sought after by collectors.
Strongly influenced by the Cobra movement (Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, Corneille, Constant…), Marcus de Vestele drew inspiration from it to create abstract-figurative compositions with great expressive power.
His watercolors and paintings on paper from the 1970s are characterized by spontaneous line, vivid and saturated colors, simplified anthropomorphic figures and a communicative joy of painting.
His pictorial works combine the rigor and mastery of the sculptor with the lyrical and gestural explosion characteristic of Cobra. Directly from the studio, this paper-based production constitutes an essential and singular facet of his œuvre, occupying a distinct place in Belgian art of the second half of the 20th century.
