Pierre Wemaere
Hippo Color Abstraction

1992

About the Item

Pierre Wemaere was part of the prestigious and rare movement of CoBrA and created fantasy oriented, dream like compositions that keep the viewer visually guessing at what they see. He utilized great color and painterly brushwork to create these scenes. In this particular scene he is playfully presenting what might be a person along with a yellow form that is behind in the background. This artist, like his counterparts often aspired to evoking similar aesthetics one would find in a child's composition that are fanciful and provoking. Great condition, beautifully framed in a contemporary 22 karat silvered leaf float frame. This work will bring an edgy yet fun feel to any room. The artist is well recognized in Europe and has a vibrant market.
