Jean SoyerDynamic Blue and Black Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting by Jean Soyer
About the Item
A powerful abstract oil painting on canvas (57.5 x 44.9 inches) by contemporary artist Jean Soyer. This dynamic composition features bold strokes of deep blue and black, created with large brushes and combs that generate distinctive textural reliefs. The dramatic gestural movement suggests emotional turbulence and depth, showcasing Soyer's masterful technique and expressionistic approach to abstraction.
Jean Soyer's striking abstract composition harnesses the emotive power of blue and black in a dramatic interplay of movement and tension. The work exemplifies Soyer's signature technique of using large brushes and combs to build textural depth, creating a painting that feels both spontaneous and deliberately crafted.
The dynamic brushwork and bold color contrast evoke the gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility. One can detect the influence of Nicolas de Staël in Soyer's attention to textural elements and material presence, while the sweeping, calligraphic quality of the brushstrokes recalls the energetic compositions of Georges Mathieu.
The painting's vertical movement and rich blue palette might also suggest connections to Pierre Soulages' exploration of light and darkness, particularly in how the black areas interact with and activate the blue space. Additionally, the fluid, expressive quality brings to mind certain works by Hans Hartung, whose gestural abstractions similarly capture a sense of speed and emotional intensity.
What distinguishes this work is how it balances chaotic energy with compositional harmony. The painting seems to capture a moment of elemental force—perhaps reminiscent of a powerful oceanic current or atmospheric storm—while maintaining the formal rigor that characterizes Soyer's artistic vision. The textural reliefs created by his combing technique add a dimensional quality that rewards close viewing, revealing subtle variations and interactions between the pigments.
This canvas stands as a compelling example of contemporary abstraction that honors its historical precedents while speaking in a voice that is unmistakably Soyer's own.

Dana Frankfort
In the middle of the road, 2017
oil on canvas over panel
48 x 48 x 1.75 inches
For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form.
The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de
Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
