Christian Manoury
Contemporary French Abstract Expressionist Acrylic on Paper.

2024

About the Item

Contemporary Abstract Expressionist acrylic on paper by French artist Christian Manoury. Signed to the front and to the reverse and presented in a custom made white case frame. A beautifully ethereal painting which catches the light and changes throughout the day. Manoury has an uncanny ability to capture light within his gorgeous colours and yet at the same time allows the light through giving an airy and otherworldly quality to his work. A moment captured in time, a flurry of notes in a piece of music, a passing cloud. Born in Paris, Manoury studied Fine Art at the Grande Chaumière, Paris and had his first show at Galerie Audouin, St Germain, Paris. He spent the '80s and '90s working as a free-lance fashion designer for various luxury brands and 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 an important collection over the years. He has also contributed to various prestigious collections. In 1994 Christian spent time as a full-time artist/painter 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.

French Mixed Media Abstract on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
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...

Located in London, GB
A multidisciplinary artist and experimental musician with synaesthesia, Jake-Andrew's practice is centred around the way the mind can perceive audio stimulus as colour, texture, shape and movement. Exploring sensory perception, Jake-Andrew documents the emotional and physical response to the relationships that exist between colour and sound, and how they can reflect the minutiae and melancholia of the human condition through gestural abstraction and introspective layering; exploring the progression of his physical practice for the digital renaissance by introducing pixel manipulation to digital gesture and occasionally physical attributes through coding. Jake-Andrew's work exists as an expressive, physical performance that allows him to create projected installation environments and immersive experiences; either on screen or in situ. Which affects the relationship that all of us have with colour and sound. Undertaken projects with Glenfiddich, Braun Audio...
