Armand Avril
Late 20th Century Expressionist Acrylic. 'View Through the Bridge'.

1993

About the Item

Late 20th century expressionist oil/acrylic on paper by French artist Armand Avril. Signed and dated bottom right. The painting depicts the view through the metal structure of a bridge possible at Marseille or La Ciotat in the South of France. It shows the sea, the coastline and the port construction cranes. During this period Avril was very much inspired by the works of Raoul Dufy and this is very evident in the composition and handling of this painting. His brushwork is quick which along with bold colours gives great energy and vibrancy to the painting. Armand Avril (1926) is an important French artist, whose distinctive style is influenced by French, African and Inuit traditions. Avril's works until the late 1960's are characterised by a figurative style of painting, with sensual shapes and outrageously bold colours. Later he created mixed-media artworks, and the influence of Braque, Picasso and Matisse is especially visible in his compositions. Avril has recently been accorded major retrospectives of his works and his paintings and assemblages are represented in major museums and collections worldwide.

CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling
By Heather Hartman
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
CHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...
