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

2021

About the Item

A large contemporary Abstract Expressionist Color-Field work on canvas by French artist, Christian Manoury. Signed and dated 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 is a vibrant exploration of colour and form, executed with masterful abstraction. Dominated by a harmonious blend of blues, greens, and yellows, it draws viewers into a serene, yet dynamic landscape. The composition features bold geometric blocks and soft, organic shapes, creating an intriguing dialogue between structure and fluidity. Central to the piece are striking yellow circles, reminiscent of sunspots, contrasted by deep green and tranquil blue areas that evoke a sense of nature. The playful inclusion of scribbled lines adds a whimsical touch, suggesting movement and spontaneity. The strategic layering and textured brushstrokes invite close examination, revealing depth and complexity. This artwork stands out for its ability to convey emotion through abstract forms, making it both visually captivating and thought-provoking. 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.
