Dark Structure, Abstract Surrealist Original Oil Painting, Signed
By French artist Herve Carrier, Mid 20th Century
Signed by the artist on the lower left hand corner and verso
Oil painting on canvas, framed
Framed size: 24.5 x 30.5 inches
Fine quality original abstract painting by the well listed French painter, Herve Carrier (1932-2000). The work is signed on the front as well as being studio stamped.
We have two paintings by this artist, both painted using a similar colour palette. Please enquire if you would like to see the other painting.
Hervé Carrier was born October 13, 1932 in Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône).
He interrupts his studies at age 15 and paints his first painting. Apprentice to Merlin-Gerin, unhappy with his professional occupations, he cultivates a frantic absenteeism that allows him to discover the museum. His first art book is a Dufy monograph with a view of the old port of Marseille dated 1925. He then discovered modern painting with the fascicles published by Hazan in the early 1950s.
His first exhibition took place in Grenoble in February 1957, his work is then in the form of non-figurative varnished gouaches freely inspired by Fernand Léger.
In 1963, he accepted a job as a caretaker at the Museum of Painting in Grenoble, after 1970 the management of the reserves became his main activity at the museum.
In 1961, he made sculptures made of poor materials, often fragments of objects, sometimes articulated. He especially seeks in these montages a possibility of a playful approach of the sculpture which he tries to reconcile with his interest for the primitive arts.
As a result of the ideological effervescence of the moment, he stopped in 1968 any individual production for a group activity with Dody and Unal. They participate in the sixth Biennial of Paris, the exhibition Impact 2 at the Ceret Museum in 1972 just before the dissolution of the group.
The following year, he began a series of paintings composed of fragments of works of masters of modern art approximately reproduced and arbitrarily collected, which allow him to reconcile appropriation and misappropriation into a caustic tribute to the influence of the masters.
In 1981 he returned to sculpture long neglected because of a lack of space. This space is in the cellars of the museum where he works only part-time he finds it. And this time it is with the scrap dealers that he looks for his material.
"My sculptures are static, fixed of course, but the pieces are twisted, rounded, follow a rhythm, move and turn. It's an expression of freedom, the unpredictable. "
From 1983 to 1992 his pictorial works are humorous allusions to traditional iconography; Biblical scenes, still lifes, landscapes, are the main themes of compositions of a very effective incongruity.
"I start from a character, an attitude or a silhouette seen in an old painting. The quote is no longer really one. It's a kind of stimulation to paint. "
In 1993, finally retired, he moved to Veynes (Hautes-Alpes).
His new studio allows him to continue to practice sculpture, painting and drawing in the best conditions.
As far as painting is concerned, he returns to the abstraction that he experiences in all its forms.
