About the Item

A large scale contemporary Abstract Expressionist acrylic on canvas by French artist Christian Manoury. Signed to the reverse. A beautiful painting of contrasting light and dark, grounded in the deepest blues yet ethereal at times when brushstrokes thin as glass allow an otherworldly light to pass through. 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 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.

Large Geometric Abstract. 'Traces No.9 Pour une Archéologie du Présent.'
Located in Cotignac, FR
Large 1970s abstract geometric acrylic and oil on plywood panel signed Rivel and dated 1977 to the bottom left. The painting is titled to the rear of the panel. Numbers of colour fields in muted shades jostle against one another. It is the shapes and the space between them which give energy to the painting whilst the colour palette restrains. The painting is highly textured as the artist has applied the paint thickly and energetically with both palette knife and large brushstrokes. At times layers of paint reveal underlying colours. This painting fits perfectly into the abstract genre with its focus on its formal qualities over and above its subject matter. Furthermore the artist experiments with reconstructing shapes and rejecting three dimensional perspective. A fine example of non objective art...
