Description:
This dynamic abstract harbour scene, painted in 1995, presents a vibrant depiction of a fishing port framed by sailing boats and classic town architecture. Dominated by a dramatic interplay of textured brushwork and layered colour, the composition features a church spire rising above grey stone buildings, with a fleet of boats clustered in the foreground. The sails—painted in bold pink and mauve—anchor the piece with geometric energy, contrasted by cool blues and warm creams below.
Roussel’s technique embraces a modernist edge, with visible diagonal strokes that give the sky and sea a rhythmic, almost prismatic effect. Though the forms are abstracted, the essence of a French harbour town is unmistakable—perhaps inspired by the northern or western coasts of France, where fishing ports are lined with historic facades and small-scale maritime activity. Figures on the dock and details of rigging, steps, and shadows are rendered in a stylized shorthand that adds liveliness and motion.
This painting is ideal for collectors interested in post-impressionist or abstract marine scenes, offering a unique blend of structural clarity and painterly expression. Roussel’s distinctive hand and subtle use of colour create a work that is both rooted in tradition and strikingly contemporary.
