About the Item

A powerful large-scale abstract oil painting on canvas (45 x 57.5 inches) by contemporary artist Jean Soyer. The artwork features dramatic sweeping movements in intense red and black, created using thick impasto technique with large brushes and combs. The composition demonstrates explosive energy through bold gestural strokes and textural elements, showcasing the artist's signature style of creating dimensional relief effects in oil paint. This commanding abstract composition exemplifies the convergence of raw energy and controlled technique in contemporary abstract art. The dramatic interplay between fiery reds and deep blacks evokes a sense of primal force, reminiscent of the dynamic gestural work of Georges Mathieu, yet with a distinctive contemporary edge. The painting's powerful sweeping movements and textural complexity also suggest influences from the bold spatial arrangements of Pierre Soulages and the energetic expressions of Hans Hartung. Soyer's unique approach to material manipulation, particularly evident in the thick impasto and carved effects, creates a fascinating tension between spontaneity and deliberate mark-making. While the artist acknowledges Nicolas de Staël's influence in his broader body of work, this piece leans more toward the explosive energy of abstract expressionism while maintaining a distinctly European sensibility in its execution and emotional depth.
