About the Item

A powerful abstract oil painting on canvas (12x12 inches) by contemporary artist Jean Soyer. The composition features dramatic sweeps of intense crimson and black, balanced by cooler gray tones in the lower portion. Created using thick impasto technique with large brushes and combs, the painting exhibits striking textural qualities and bold horizontal movement. The heavily textured surface creates a compelling interplay of light and shadow across the canvas. This compelling abstract work showcases Jean Soyer's masterful command of color and texture, particularly evident in the dramatic interplay between fiery reds and deep blacks. The painting's horizontal composition and bold gestural marks echo the powerful abstractions of Nicolas de Staël, while the textural complexity achieved through combing techniques brings to mind the work of Pierre Soulages. The artist's use of thick impasto and decisive brushwork also suggests an affinity with the spontaneous energy of Hans Hartung's abstract expressions. While Soyer acknowledges influences from Georges Mathieu and Fabienne Verdier, this piece appears to lean more toward the robust materiality and spatial tension characteristic of Soulages's work. The painting exemplifies contemporary abstract expressionism's ongoing dialogue with material and gesture, while maintaining its own distinct voice through Soyer's characteristic bold color choices and textural innovations. This piece is provided with a basic black varnished L-frame for transport security and convenience.
