About the Item

Named "The lion cries", this hyper-realist oil painting on lin canvas by Andrée Bars invokes our planet situation, with the symbols of the lion and hummingbirds. The lion is often depicted as protective, proud and self-assured. In this painting, it is merged into a map, symbolizing the Earth, as our suffering planet. There is a legend about the hummingbird. When the forest burns he takes a drop of water from his little beak and goes to throw it on the fire. A ridiculous yet generous gesture. Despite this tragic act of the little bird, the Earth, symbolized by the lion, cries and is moved by this generous gesture, which is a hope all the same ! But so tenuous ! Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition. She still applies these ancient masters’ technics on her art. Each painting contains at least three layers of oil paint. Andrée Bars applies her skills to hyperrealism on surrealist ideas. Although her paintings copy the reality to the extreme, they can not be qualified in a simple term of hyperrealism nor of trompe-l’oeil style, her artworks distinguish themselves for a kind of mysterious sweetness they convey to the spectator. During her professional painter’s career of more than 20 years, Andrée Bars has been invited by numerous art fairs and salons in France and in Europe to exhibit her artworks, and was awarded numerous prizes, among which the prestigious Golden Great Prize of the Vittel Salon (“Grand Prix de la ville de Vittel, Or”) in 2016 and the Silver Medal awarded by the Society of French Artists in the Grand Palais, also in 2016.

“The Kindly ones ”, Triple Portrait World Map Doves Symbolist Oil Painting
By Andrée Bars
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Titled "The kindly ones" and by Andrée Bars, this oil painting on canvas captures a striking combination of realism and fantasy, depicting three female faces gracefully positioned against a serene background. Each face is distinct, offering a different perspective and expression, perhaps symbolizing various facets of human emotion or thought. Behind them, a beautifully detailed world map stretches across a globe, emphasizing themes of global connection and exploration. The atmosphere is further enriched by the ethereal presence of white doves, which are universally recognized symbols of peace. These elements coalesce into a surreal yet harmonious composition that invites viewers to ponder the deeper connections between humanity and the world at large. The overall effect is both captivating and thought-provoking, showcasing the artist's skill in blending the real with the symbolic to evoke introspection and wonder. Andrée Bars is a French painter.
