"Adultery", 1990 Large original serigraphy printed on fabric, very rare and limited Edition of 30 Artist Proof signed hand by the artist in black ink and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity. Number: EA - 30 EA (30 Artist Proof ) Dimensions of the serigraphy : 140 x 140 cm Very good condition. Imposing and important highly illustrated monograph, with a lively layout, of one of the best-selling French artists on the international contemporary art market. A colorful and highly circumscribed painting, inspired by comics, graphics and popular art, and anchored in rock’n’roll imagery since 1977. The art market confirms that Robert Combas is the most successful living French artist with Pierre Soulages. During the last two years, the value of his works has multiplied by 5 , proof with the last Artcurial auction sale from December 4th 2019. With its carefully surrounded black shapes, its faces out of a comic strip and its bright colors, this work which treats adultery with derision corresponds well to the criteria of Free Figuration, a movement, born in 1979, around this Lyonnais artist and and his cronies. Casually appropriating advertising images, comics, science fiction as well as great works in the history of classical art, these artists break with the seriousness of the time. It is in Epinal style illustration and imagery that one must look for the missing link to understand the art of Combas. Robert COMBAS has been pursuing a unique approach since the 1980s. His eccentric and powerful representations of the world make this genius one of the emblematic figures of French contemporary art. The artist's work is now the subject of numerous retrospectives and institutional exhibitions. The enthusiasm of collectors becomes more important with each new public sale and its rating climbs which confirms the sustainable nature of the art of Robert COMBAS. He brought at the dawn of the 80s a new figurative painting. Present on the artistic scene since 1979 he is the creator of a movement that the artist Ben called the Free Figuration, movement comprising: Rémi Blanchard...
