Dancing Bears at Dusk is a contemporary acrylic painting on premium 400gsm Fabriano paper by Gozo Collective, blending nature-inspired abstraction with surrealist minimalism. The composition presents a series of stylized bear figures engaged in an enigmatic dance beneath a luminous, gradient sky shifting from deep crimson to violet and cobalt blue. The minimalist horizon, rendered in layered shades of cool blue, evokes a meditative sense of space while amplifying the dreamlike atmosphere. This work explores the intersection of biophilia, symbolic narrative, and contemporary landscape painting. The silhouetted animal forms—poised between figuration and abstraction—recall ancient rituals, collective memory, and the human longing for connection and joy. The saturated chromatic contrasts create a dynamic visual tension, while the soft atmospheric transitions invite a contemplative viewing experience. Executed with precision and painterly restraint, the piece embodies Gozo Collective’s signature approach: poetic compositions that merge emotional resonance with formal clarity. Suitable for both contemporary interiors and curated art collections, it can be displayed unframed for a raw, modern presence or framed to enhance its depth and vibrancy.

'La Taverne Pausset, Paris' by Edouard-Jean Dambourgez. Salon d'Automne, Salon des Indépendants, Benezit ----- Signed lower right, 'Dambourgez' for Edouard-Jean Dambourgez (French, 1844-1931), inscribed, 'Paris' and painted circa 1880. Titled with inscription, verso, on old backing, ''Taverne Pausset', grands boulevards a Paris". A fine and detailed, cabinet-size oil painting showing an elegant Parisian cafe and bar, the interior lit by luminous, floor-to-ceiling stained-glass windows and filled with fashionably-dressed patrons drinking and socializing beneath a haze of pipe and cigar smoke. A minor, period masterpiece, providing an animated view of the city's fin-de-siècle nightlife, and characterised by finely observed and fully-realized figures showing an unusual degree of both social commentary and psychological penetration. Edouard-Jean Dambourgez first studied with Jules Lefebvre and, subsequently, as an engraver and chromo-lithographer under Gustave Boulanger. In 1880, Dambourgez commenced exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français, and, in 1883, was elected a member of the Society. Throughout the 1880's, he exhibited frequently and with success at the major Paris salons including the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Independants and the Salon des Champs-de-Mars. In 1884, he was commissioned by the Louvre to engrave all illustrations for the catalog to the Thiers Collection, recently bequeathed to the Museum. The recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards, Dambourgez was awarded an honorable distinction by the Salon in 1888, and an honorable mention in 1891. In 1888, the critic Albert Wolff recommended his painting, 'A Cheese Shop', for inclusion at the Salon des Artistes Français. In 1891, the city of Paris bought his large canvas, 'The Cream and Cheese Market...
