Jean SoyerDynamic Red and Black Abstract Oil Painting Phoenix Rising by Jean Soyer
About the Item
This striking abstract artwork by Jean Soyer features dynamic brushstrokes in vibrant red, orange, yellow and black on canvas. Measuring 39.4 x 39.4 inches (100 x 100 cm), this oil painting showcases Soyer's distinctive technique using large brushes and combs to create dramatic textural reliefs. The bold composition of fiery colors against deep black creates a powerful sense of movement and emotional intensity, characteristic of Soyer's expressive abstract style.
This 'Passionate Inferno' exemplifies the artist's mastery of gestural abstraction, creating a visceral dialogue between fiery reds and commanding blacks that seems to capture raw emotional energy in physical form. The dramatic sweeping movements across the canvas reveal Soyer's technical prowess with thick impasto textures that catch light and cast shadows, adding dimensional complexity to the work.
The composition evokes associations with volcanic eruptions or perhaps flames dancing against the night, though Soyer leaves interpretation deliberately open to the viewer's experience. This ambiguity places the work firmly in the tradition of lyrical abstraction while maintaining its contemporary relevance.
Soyer's acknowledged influences from Nicolas de Staël are evident in the architectural quality of his color blocks, while the spontaneous, calligraphic gestures recall Georges Mathieu's theatrical approach to painting. There are also echoes of Pierre Soulages in the dramatic use of black as a dominant force rather than merely negative space, and perhaps Zao Wou-Ki's ability to suggest cosmic landscapes through abstract means.
The vigorous application technique using combs to create textural ridges gives the painting a sculptural quality reminiscent of Antoni Tàpies' material experimentations, yet Soyer maintains his distinct voice within the broader context of abstract expressionism. The work stands as a testament to the enduring power of gestural abstraction to convey emotional states beyond verbal articulation.

Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer.
Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
