About the Item

A painting that almost feels and acts like a sculpture as it is highly built up surface that takes on a 3 dimensional quality. He builds up the acrylic and resin in heavy layers and then paints up all the elements so that read almost like Braille. These enigmatic and mysterious compositions sometimes take on what the French called a "portal" or door element where with the center "rouge" focus" area you enter within. His works have what is called an "automatic" painting type feel but create a meditational and timeless quality that speaks of the past and the future. This work is signed lower right. It is on a canvas and a has a heavy and wonderful build up of surface. Note that the blues in this painting are perhaps a tad softer in person - a pale blue tone overall. Great for a large and airy spot where one needs detail and weight and solidity but something that is expansive and calm as well. Artist is considered important in the history of abstract painting in France for numerous different periods of his work. This one relates to his earlier "Tachism" period. Painting inside frames measures 71 x 55 inches. Provenance is Private Collection France and then Christies, Paris in 2015 Great new white lacquer frame with silvered 22 karat leaf.
