About the Item

Dynamic abstract oil painting on canvas (12x12 inches) by contemporary artist Jean Soyer. The artwork features bold horizontal strokes in fiery reds, yellows, and deep blacks, created using large brushes and combs to achieve distinctive textural reliefs. The dramatic composition suggests a turbulent landscape or atmospheric phenomenon, with powerful gestural movements across the canvas. This compelling abstract work showcases Soyer's masterful command of dramatic composition and texture. The painting's horizontal energy and bold color contrasts evoke the dynamic force found in Nicolas de Staël's landscape abstractions, while the gestural freedom recalls the spontaneous movements characteristic of Georges Mathieu's work. The thick impasto technique and strong horizontal structure also brings to mind the powerful abstractions of Pierre Soulages, particularly in the way light interacts with the textured surface. The work demonstrates Soyer's unique ability to balance controlled technique with emotional expression, creating a tension between structure and chaos that characterizes the best of contemporary abstraction. The dramatic use of red against black suggests both natural phenomena and inner emotional landscapes, continuing the tradition of French lyrical abstraction while bringing it firmly into the contemporary sphere. This piece is provided with a basic black varnished L-frame for transport security and convenience.
