Jean Soyer
Pure Abstract Black and Blue Motion on White: Dynamic Oil Painting by Jean Soyer

About the Item

A powerful abstract oil painting on canvas (12x12 inches) by Jean Soyer, featuring bold black gestural strokes against a white background with subtle blue accents. The artwork showcases dramatic movement through thick impasto textures created with large brushes and combs, resulting in dynamic relief patterns that catch light and create depth. This striking composition exemplifies the intersection of gestural abstraction and controlled chaos, reminiscent of Franz Kline's bold black strokes while incorporating the spatial sensitivity of Pierre Soulages. While Jean Soyer acknowledges influences from Nicolas de Staël and Georges Mathieu, this particular piece seems to channel more of the direct, spontaneous energy found in Hans Hartung's work. The artist's distinctive technique of using large brushes and combs creates a tangible physicality in the paint surface, establishing a powerful dialogue between positive and negative space. The subtle integration of blue elements adds a subtle complexity to what initially appears as a stark monochromatic composition, demonstrating Soyer's nuanced understanding of color dynamics. The work's emotional intensity and architectural quality reflect the ongoing evolution of abstract expressionism in contemporary art, while maintaining a clear connection to the historical lineage of European abstraction.

In the middle of the road
By Dana Frankfort
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...
