About the Item

Jean Charles-Blais' “Hop from Catastrophe” (1985) is a compelling linocut that captures the artist’s distinctive approach to exploring the human condition through minimalistic yet evocative imagery. This work, part of a limited edition of 25, is numbered 8 of 25 and is in excellent condition. Measuring 19.5 x 25.5 inches (49.5 x 64.8 cm), this piece preserves the crisp lines and stark contrasts that characterize Blais’ graphic style. The composition features a figure in motion, depicted from a perspective that emphasizes the legs and feet, with one foot suspended mid-air as if caught in the act of a leap. The linear quality of the linocut creates a sense of immediacy and tension, drawing the viewer into the moment of action. The title, “Hop from Catastrophe,” suggests a narrative of escape or transition, inviting interpretation and reflection on the themes of resilience and survival. Blais is known for his ability to convey deep emotional and psychological states through simplified forms and bold contrasts. In “Hop from Catastrophe,” he captures a fleeting moment that is both specific and universal, reflecting the broader human experience of navigating challenges and finding moments of grace amid adversity. As part of the Disney Contemporary Resort Collection, “Hop from Catastrophe” holds a significant place within a curated selection of contemporary artworks that celebrate creativity, innovation, and cultural reflection. The Disney Contemporary Resort is recognized for its commitment to showcasing art that challenges conventions and inspires thought, making Blais’ work a fitting addition to this collection. For collectors and admirers of contemporary art, “Hop from Catastrophe” by Jean Charles-Blais offers a unique opportunity to own a work by an artist whose contributions to modern art are both significant and enduring. The piece’s connection to the Disney Contemporary Resort enhances its cultural and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any collection. Whether displayed in a personal or public setting, this linocut will undoubtedly captivate viewers with its simplicity and depth, serving as a testament to Blais’ mastery of the linocut medium and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his art.
