James Coignard – “LE BLEU” – Large Scale Carborundum Etching – Hand Signed – 1983

⸻

Description
A powerful and tactile original work by the internationally acclaimed French master James Coignard (1925–2008).

Titled “LE BLEU” (1983), this piece is a superb example of Coignard’s signature carborundum etching technique. Unlike traditional flat prints, this method creates a deep, sculptural texture and a rich impasto effect, giving the work a strong physical presence comparable to an original painting.

The composition features a vibrant blue focal point contrasted with bold black gestural markings and intricate geometric lines, all set against a sophisticated neutral-toned background.

Coignard’s works are highly sought after by collectors of modern abstraction and are held in major public collections, including the Guggenheim Museum (New York) and the British Museum (London).
