About the Item
Work on canvas
Dimensions with frame : 57 x 90 x 3 cm
This intriguing abstract work, dominated by purple and pink hues, is a bold example of modern expressionism. The intricate surface texture reveals energetic brushstrokes and multiple layers of paint, creating captivating depth. Bursts of blue and orange mingle subtly, providing a striking contrast to the main palette. The patterns seem almost chaotic, evoking a sense of ceaseless movement and dynamism. Contrasting with the apparent disorganization, an underlying coherence emerges, testifying to the artist's skill in harmoniously orchestrating color and form. The whole encourages the viewer to contemplate, constantly discovering new details and interpretations. This work stands out for its ability to transform a space by infusing it with a unique vitality and emotional depth.

André Bréchet, born in Delémont on October 22, 1921 and died on March 27, 1993 in the same city, is a Swiss painter, sculptor and glass craftsman. After his schooling in Delémont, he took courses in painting, sculpture and drawing at the Kunstgewebeschule in Basel, from 1942 to 1944. He traveled a lot then moved to Paris where he was a pupil of André Lhote (1947-1948) and by Fernand Leger (1949). From 1944, he made numerous exhibitions of sculpture and painting in Switzerland and abroad. Between 1947 and 1949, André Bréchet was a pupil of the French painters André Lhote and Fernand Léger. During his French period, he notably frequented the Swiss sculptors Alberto Giacometti and Jean Tinguely, the French poet Paul Fort, the French cubist painter Jacques Villon as well as the Catholic writer Paul Claudel. He has produced numerous stained glass windows for churches in Switzerland, the United States and France, and for individuals. Among his works intended for foreign countries, let us mention in particular the remarkable stained glass windows of the chapels of Saint-Joseph and St-Patrick in Detroit in the American state of Michigan. He received the André Susse prize winner in 1961, and the first prize from the Swiss Embassy in Paris in 1966.

Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer.
Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
