Jean Soyer
Abstract Red and Black Sunset: Modern Oil Painting by Jean Soyer

About the Item

Original oil painting on canvas by contemporary artist Jean Soyer. The artwork measures 11.8 x 11.8 inches (30 x 30 cm). Created using thick applications of oil paint applied with large brushes and combs, resulting in distinctive textural reliefs. The composition features bold sweeping strokes in deep reds and blacks, suggesting a dramatic abstract landscape or horizon. The painting demonstrates Soyer's signature technique of creating dynamic surface textures through bold gestural movements. This striking abstract composition reveals Jean Soyer's masterful command of space and color, where intense reds emerge from deep blacks in a powerful horizontal movement. The work's dramatic tension and spatial organization recalls the bold abstractions of Pierre Soulages, particularly in its exploration of light emerging from darkness. While Soyer acknowledges influences from Nicolas de Staël, this piece shows a unique approach to abstracted landscape that also resonates with the gestural freedom of Hans Hartung. The artist's distinctive technique of using large brushes and combs creates a compelling textural relief that adds a sculptural dimension to the painting. The work's horizontal emphasis and color palette suggest a landscape reduced to its most essential elements, demonstrating how contemporary abstraction can evoke natural phenomena without direct representation. The painting exemplifies the continuing vitality of abstract expressionism in contemporary art, while maintaining its own distinctive voice in the tradition. This piece is provided with a basic black varnished L-frame for transport security and convenience.
