About the Item
Contemporary Impressionist pastel of a landscape by French/Belgian artist Francis Besson. Signed to the very bottom right.
A whirl of colours and designs shape this gorgeously sumptuous painting of a Provençal landscape. The land crashes across the paper like an ocean wave, spume flying into the sky. The energy erupts from swirling intermingled colours. The use of pastel softens the whole effect and gives a moody impressionistic feeling. An enchanting work of art to lose yourself in.
Besson was born in Dundee (Scotland) in 1943 however as a young child moved to Belgium where he later became famous as an actor. His family kept a second home in Cotignac in Provence which he visited often until finally going to live there himself in the early 2000's.
Francis Besson now lives and works in the beautiful village of Cotignac in Provence in the south of France. His often impressionistic almost pointillist work is inspired by the nature he sees around him in this lovely part of the world. The intensity of the light , the rocks and forests of Provence all feature in his paintings.
He is known for both landscapes and abstract works and has often collaborated with other local artists.
