Jean SoyerDynamic Red Abstract Oil Painting: Volcanic Energy by Jean Soyer
About the Item
A powerful abstract oil painting on canvas by Jean Soyer featuring dynamic strokes of vibrant red, fiery orange, yellow, and deep black. This contemporary artwork measures 25.6 x 25.6 inches (65 x 65 cm) and showcases Soyer's distinctive technique of using large brushes and combs to create thick textural reliefs. The dramatic composition evokes a sense of explosive movement and raw emotional energy through its bold color palette and gestural brushwork.
In this striking abstract composition, Jean Soyer demonstrates his masterful command of color and texture, creating a visual symphony dominated by passionate reds and vibrant yellows that seem to erupt across the canvas. The explosive gestural movements and bold strokes evoke the dynamic energy found in the works of Georges Mathieu, whose theatrical painting approach and calligraphic spontaneity appear to influence Soyer's technique.
The painting's rich layering and textural depth, achieved through Soyer's characteristic use of large brushes and combs, creates a fascinating topography that invites closer examination. There's a fascinating tension between controlled technique and spontaneous expression that calls to mind the balanced compositions of Nicolas de Staël, though Soyer pushes further into pure abstraction and textural experimentation.
One might also find echoes of Pierre Soulages in the dramatic contrast and powerful black strokes that anchor the composition, though Soyer's palette embraces the fiery warmth that Soulages often eschewed. The work seems to capture a moment of natural force—perhaps reminiscent of volcanic activity or a cosmic explosion—while remaining firmly rooted in the abstract expressionist tradition.
Soyer's distinctive approach to building thick impasto creates a three-dimensional quality that transforms the painting as light plays across its surface throughout the day, inviting repeated viewing and continued discovery. This work stands as a compelling example of contemporary abstract expressionism that honors its historical roots while speaking with a unique and powerful visual language.

In the middle of the road

Located in Houston, TX
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...
