Christian Manoury
Contemporary Abstract Expressionist Color-Field Work on Canvas, Les Champs III

2021

About the Item

A large contemporary Abstract Expressionist Color-Field acrylic on canvas by French artist, Christian Manoury. Signed and dated to the back. 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 is a striking exploration of abstraction through vibrant, layered colours and geometric forms. Dominated by hues of blue and green, the piece exudes a sense of serenity interspersed with dynamic energy. Soft, undulating lines in light blue sweep across the composition, creating movement and guiding the viewer’s eye. The juxtaposition of textured squares and organic shapes adds depth and intrigue, while subtle hints of oranges and reds infuse warmth into the cool palette. Intricate scribbles and faint circles introduce an element of playfulness, contrasting with the more structured blocks of colour. The painting's balanced composition invites contemplation, showcasing the artist's ability to harmonize spontaneity with structural elements. This abstract work captures a unique fusion of tranquility and vibrancy, making it an engaging visual experience. This is one of a series of paintings created during the period of Covid lockdown when so many people dreamed of breaking their confinement and exploring the wonders of the countryside again. 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.
