Bernadette van Baarsen
'Le Petit Chemin'. Contemporary Fauvist Pastel of a Provençal Landscape.

2023

About the Item

Contemporary abstract expressionist fauvist pastel on paper of a Provençal landscape by Dutch artist Bernadette Van Baarsen. Signed and dated to the bottom left and presented in a plain wood frame. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. One of a new series of exciting, colourful, innovative and expressive works offering views of the landscape of Provence. Bernadette has taken and amplified the beautiful light in this wonderful part of the world breaking it down into its myriad components resulting in an explosion of colour. A hint of orange in the sky of a setting sun imbues the scene with warmth. A small path leads the eye through the middle of the painting via the green cypress up to the distant sky. Strong yet simple abstracted shapes allow the colour to reign. This vibrant artwork bursts with energetic brushstrokes, showcasing a dynamic landscape. A robust tree trunk in the foreground anchors the composition, its twisting form leading the eye to a whimsical scene filled with vivid colors. The palette is a symphony of greens, purples, and oranges, capturing a sense of movement and life. Hints of architectural forms, possibly houses, emerge in the background, nestled beneath a lush canopy of foliage. The sky is painted in a swirling pattern, suggesting a gentle breeze or impending weather change. This piece brilliantly balances abstraction with recognizable elements, encouraging the viewer to explore its depths and layers. The framed presentation enhances its appeal, inviting contemplation and appreciation.
