Jean SoyerDynamic Red, Black and Light Purple Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting
About the Item
An evocative abstract oil painting on canvas by contemporary artist Jean Soyer, featuring dramatic sweeps of crimson red and white against a dark background. The artwork showcases Soyer's signature technique of using large brushes and combs to create textural reliefs and dynamic movement. Bold gestural strokes create a powerful interplay of light and shadow, emotion and restraint. Dimensions: 57.5 x 44.9 inches (146 x 114 cm).
Jean Soyer's striking composition exemplifies the raw emotional power possible in abstract expressionism. The bold contrast between vibrant crimson and stark white against the dark canvas creates a visual tension that immediately captivates the viewer. The dynamic, sweeping brushstrokes evoke a sense of controlled chaos - perhaps reminiscent of an internal struggle or passionate outburst frozen in time.
Soyer's technique reveals influences from several masters of abstract art. The gestural freedom and emphasis on movement echoes Georges Mathieu's calligraphic approach, while the bold contrasts and structural elements suggest an appreciation for Nicolas de Staël's architectural sensibilities. One might also detect connections to Pierre Soulages in the dramatic use of black space, though Soyer employs red rather than Soulages' signature black as his dominant expressive element.
The textural qualities achieved through Soyer's distinctive use of large brushes and combs create tangible depth, inviting viewers to experience the painting both visually and almost tactilely. The thick impasto reliefs catch light differently across the canvas, ensuring the work reveals new nuances depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions.
Some viewers might perceive suggested forms within the abstraction - perhaps a glimpse of a figure in motion or the impression of a turbulent landscape. However, rather than depicting any specific subject, the painting primarily communicates through the language of pure emotion and movement, allowing each observer to form their own interpretive relationship with the work.
Soyer's creation stands as a powerful testament to the continuing relevance of abstract expressionism in contemporary art, demonstrating how the fundamental elements of color, texture, and gesture can create a profoundly moving visual experience that transcends representation.

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...
