The Billiard Player oil on canvas painting

c.2000

About the Item

Title: The Billiard Player Artist: Anonymous Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 39.4 x 31.9 in Period: c. 2000 Condition: Good Art Movement: Contemporary Figurativism, Neofiguration Description of the Artwork This painting depicts a billiards scene in an indoor setting, featuring a corpulent man dressed in a yellow suit, green tie, and hat. He holds a billiard cue while adjusting his tie, with an expression of surprise or bewilderment. Beside him, another character, slimmer and dressed in black, points at the billiard table with an emphatic gesture, suggesting a moment of tension or discussion. In the background, a calendar displaying an image of a voluptuous woman in a red dress sitting on a bed adds a humorous touch to the composition. Warm earthy tones dominate the scene, contrasting with the vibrant green of the billiard tables. The painting is stylistically associated with Contemporary Figurativism with influences from Neofiguration, characterized by exaggerated volumetric figures and an expressive approach. The artwork carries a clear satirical intention and a narrative atmosphere, blending realism with stylization to emphasize irony and playfulness in the scene. Similar Artists This artwork shares stylistic similarities with: Fernando Botero (for his exploration of exaggerated volume in human figures). René Magritte (for his theatrical and narrative-driven compositions). Diego Rivera (for his treatment of human figures with robust proportions). John Currin (for his exaggerated figurative style and social critique).

"Arabian Cafe I” Figurative Oil Painting 47" x 47"in by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné
By Katherine Bakhoum-Tisné
Located in Culver City, CA
"Arabian Cafe I” Figurative Oil Painting 47" x 47"in by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné Katherine Bakhoum represents art that has been forgotten for a long while. She draws upon the concept and the subject of the orientalism and the enchantment of that period. Through her work we can feel the researches she has done to reveal her Egyptian origins and the magic and power of the bygone times. Katherine Bakhoum has succeeded in imprinting her own stamp to evoke a new world full of charm, nostalgia and magic that is deeply implanted in her canvas. Her power dwells in creating her own style of contemporary expressionism building upon the old orientalism. Katherine Bakhoum’s art comes up out of an Egyptian childhood and from the distance of a life spent in France. What is left unsaid is as important as what is shown. Decorative yes, as in old orientalism, when everything was texture and what wasn’t texture was veiled, a reincarnation of old spirits, dervishes, orientalist motifs and the stuff of a once powerful civilization, the better to suggest it all might just come to life again. The choice of ancient subject matters, the echo of orientalist pieces in the collages, like the echo of the appeal of ancient gestures, of foreign lands, and domestic tapestries, all this weaves up out of Katherine Bakhoum’s creations. Sometimes we only have the line of a horizon on which to hang our imagination, sometimes we only have the trace of a profile in the shadows. What we always have is a persistent belief in beauty. Where there is beauty, there is hope. Katherine Bakhoum has abandoned neither. SOLO EXHIBITIONS Claudine Legrand Gallery: Annual exhibitions from 1996 to 2016 Safar Khan...
