Christian Manoury
Contemporary Abstract Expressionist Color-Field Landscape, Les Champs V

2019

About the Item

A large contemporary Abstract Expressionist Color-Field acrylic on canvas by French artist, Christian Manoury. Signed to the back of the canvas. Inspired by the wonderful countryside surrounding his atelier in the South of France, a beautifully strong and colourful painting reminiscent of the colour field works of De Stael. The painting catches the light and changes throughout the day. Manoury has a way of capturing the energy of light within his colours which fly and dance across the background. This is a piece to lose yourself in again and again. This painting presents an abstract composition that captivates with its bold use of colour and form. Dominating the canvas, a series of fluid, turquoise shapes flow vertically, creating a dynamic path against a soft pastel pink backdrop. These blue accents, rich in texture, evoke a sense of movement and depth, contrasting sharply with the muted pink, which lends tranquility. Surrounding the blue, irregular black markings introduce an element of spontaneity and rhythm, reminiscent of abstract expressionist techniques. The right side of the piece features a vibrant splash of green, providing a stark geometric contrast and balance to the composition. This section, punctuated by dark patches, further enhances the artwork's complexity and intrigue. The interplay between the organic and geometric, combined with a limited yet striking colour palette, renders this piece uniquely engaging, inviting viewers to interpret its abstract narrative. Born in Paris, Manoury studied Fine Art at the Grande Chaumière, Paris. He had his first show at Galerie Audouin, St Germain, Paris. Manoury spent the 80s and 90s working as a free-lance fashion designer for various luxury brands, travelling worldwide. Christian has always been interested in Art with a particular fascination for African and Papua New Guinean Tribal Art and has built up a considerable private collection over the years. He has also contributed to various prestigious collections. In 1994 he spent time painting as a full-time artist in the Hamptons, under the wing of Larry Rivers. This was followed by a period of designing furniture and more fashion, but Christian has always kept a studio wherever he lived (New York/Paris/London/Spain..) and enjoys painting whenever time allows. Today he paints full-time in the South of France where he now resides. Christian says ; « Painting for me is COSA MENTALE » Where the first paintings were figurative and subjective, searching for the meaning of being and the origin, his latest work is more impressionistic and minimalist. His travelling companions are the music of Debussy, Satie and Philip Glass.

Located in Carmel, CA
The Tree - Cityscape Painting - Urban Landscape Art "Zion Mor's style is unmistakable and to use that perhaps overused word original. His approach is wholly abstract with curious hints of the visible world. He is interested in the abstract quality of line, color, composition and scale. He speaks of a kind of mathematical and scientific approach, in measuring intuitively and consciously the weight, value and workability of certain combinations." --The Jerusalem Post. The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal. 'The Tree ', acrylic on canvas. Represented by American Art Gallery...
