Jean-Marc Boissy
"What Time", Blue and Brown Constructions with Windows Surrealist Oil Painting

About the Item

This artwork depicts a large terrace construction. Each terrace floor is white-blue, and walls are brown with orange arched windows, as if lit from inside. The "city" is empty from people, but terraces host unidentified red vertical shapes. The heights of walls and windows vary. Counter-intuitively, windows and walls in the upper part of the canvas (i.e. the farther) are larger than those in the bottom of the canvas (i.e. the closer), which goes against euclidian perspective — a kind of disturbance Jean-Marc Boissy loves to convey into his paintings. This is not the sole surrealist aspect of this artwork. Indeed, the floor is clearer around the vertical shapes (be it poles or strange guardians), as if they were illuminated from above, although no spotlight is visible. The shadow of these shapes is visible, and each shadow has its own orientation ! This piece is not framed. Jean-Marc Boissy is a talented and promising French artist. His unique and very personal artistic style, with an obsession for repetitive motifs painted with great meticulosity, evokes the colorful world of a psychedelic M.C. Escher.
