About the Item

A striking large-scale abstract painting (57.5 x 44.9 inches) by Jean Soyer, executed in oil on canvas. The artwork features bold, dynamic strokes in deep darks and vibrant reds, with warm amber undertones. Created using large brushes and combs, the piece showcases distinctive textural reliefs characteristic of Soyer's technique, with powerful gestural movements sweeping across the canvas. This commanding abstract composition demonstrates a masterful interplay of force and fluidity, evoking the dynamic energy found in works by Pierre Soulages and Hans Hartung. The dramatic contrast between the deep black gestures and the luminous red background creates a powerful sense of movement and depth. While Soyer acknowledges influence from Nicolas de Staël and Georges Mathieu, this particular work seems to channel more of the raw energy and gestural freedom characteristic of Franz Kline's bold abstractions. The sweeping, calligraphic quality of the strokes also suggests a kinship with the work of Fabienne Verdier, though Soyer's approach appears more explosive and spontaneous. Some viewers might perceive a suggestion of avian forms in the composition, or a butterfly, though the artwork remains firmly rooted in pure abstraction. The textural variations achieved through Soyer's distinctive use of combs and large brushes create a compelling interplay between surface and depth, making this piece a notable example of contemporary abstract expressionism.
