Georges VassalLarge and Rare Coupe Sculpted from Brazilian Sodalite.2023

About the Item
Contemporary large scale French sculpture, carved from blue Brazilian sodalite, in the form of a large elongated vessel or 'coupe' by Georges Vassal a French artist living in the south of France. The work is monogram signed.
An impressively large, beautifully tactile sculptural coupe in blue Brazilian sodalite. The scale makes this rare to find in these dimensions. Vassal has created a wonderful contrast between the rough hewn natural feel of the underside and the wonderful fine smoothness of the sculptures surface. There is also the juxtaposition of colours in the stone, the white striations contrasting and enhancing the characteristic intense blue.
This wonderful elegant and tactile object has been shaped as a rich sculpture in its own right or as a wonderful addition to any table for serving, decorating, presenting or containing.
The form is so beautiful one can not help but reach out to touch and caress it. Sodalite is also hailed for its healing properties.
Precious and rare, the vibrant beauty of Blue Sodalite makes it a wonderful addition to any setting. Thanks to the shallow chromatic mixes, sophisticated and intense, and the material’s resilience, this fine natural stone has earned its place as a medium for luxury sculpture and objects.
Blue Sodalite from Brazil is a natural stone with superior technical features in terms of brilliance, uniformity and resilience.
The unmistakable blue of its surface, in its various shades from sky to cobalt blue, draws overwhelming colour vibrations so intense as to reach the nuances of lapis lazuli. It may feature more light or intense parts, with some rare although well-defined veins in white or pink, which intensify the colour depth.

- 'Femme Assise'. Large Mixed-media Montage on Board.By Armand AvrilLocated in Cotignac, FRImposing and very large scale mixed media 'assemblage' by French artist Armand Avril. The work includes the French tricolour flag colours, his symbolic cat sculptures and a highly colourful geometric image of the artist's mother sitting in a chair. The work is signed and dated to the reverse and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This montage fully demonstrates Avril's geometric period whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the everyday objects used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, plywood, oil paint, acrylic, bottle top and nails . The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out up to 3cm from the frame. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril was a painter and collector of African art. At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence. Avril could always be seen equipped with a sketchbook and a book on the history of art whilst tending his flock. It was not until the age of 30, in 1956, that Armand embarked on painting as an autodidact, influenced by Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and the Lyonnaise School of Painting. He exhibited for the first time in 1957. In 1960, he left for a one-year trip to Africa. There he met the painter Jean Arène who introduced him to the village of Cotignac in the Var and to Louis Pons...Category
