French Mixed Media Abstract on Canvas.

1980s

About the Item

Colourful, French mixed media abstract, acrylic, newsprint and ink from the 1980s. The canvas is signed and dated bottom right but we have not yet managed to decipher it. A colourful and engaging painting crossing over styles. The colourfield elements are reminiscent of the work of Mark Rothko, three defined bands of colour in orange/pink tones vertically dissecting the painting with one horizontal band across the top, and yet the elongated depiction of the female figures within the bands remind us of Gustav Klimt and his paintings of Adele. The background of the painting has been worked broadly with a palette knife whilst the detail has been added quickly and deftly with ink or finer brushstrokes. With the addition of newsprint (in French) the artist may be hinting at the sexualisation of women in the media as the nudes are presented in an erotic fashion (the full red lips, the coquettish tilt of the head and the full breasts). There is great sexual energy in this painting which is encapsulated or held within the bands of colour only briefly escaping at times again possibly hinting at the stereotyping of women in the media.
