Abstract Painting by René Roche, France, 1979
About the Item
Painting by René Roche; 1979; Contemporary Painting; Post-war Artwork; Graphic Artwork; France;
Exhibited in the exhibition 'Espace et abstraction' in Palais Saint-Jean in Lyon, France in 1979.
René Roche was born in Vienne, France, in 1932. He followed an independent path as a self-taught artist and sculptor.
In 1957 he built his first studio, and art dominated his life increasingly, despite having to work in the local industry. He started exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes de Vienne in 1957, winning first prize at the 15th Salon in 1963, also having his first solo exhibition that year. Throughout his career he exhibited regularly, both group and solo exhibitions, and accepted many commissions for murals and sculptures, having a strong conviction that works of art were not just for museums and art galleries but should be seen in public spaces. By 1970 he had abandoned figurative painting for geometric abstraction, becoming a full-time artist in 1973.
René Roche remained honest to his vision throughout his career, his colorful geometric sculptures allowing him to realize in real space the relationship between colors that he had established in his paintings. Shape and color were his greatest inspiration, saying “one of my dreams is to throw color at the sky and make it stay there.”

- Vladimir Kagan "Comete" Organic Modular Sofa Set, Roche Bobois, Futurist, 2003By Vladimir KaganLocated in Antwerp, BEVladimir Kagan; Roche Bobois; modular sofa; living room set; couch; Mid-Century Modern; 1970's; Bauhaus-inspired; France; Post-modern; Futurist full set of asymmetric 'Comete' sofas with central circular ottoman designed by Vladimir Kagan for Roche Bobois, 2003. Suede upholstery in shades of red and purple. Two large sections pivot the ottoman to form an 18-foot sofa. Imported from France. Included in this set is the complementary orange and red lounge chairs. The Roche Bobois story has origins in 1950 when entrepreneur Jacques Roche converted an old Paris theater into two contemporary furniture boutiques so that his sons could help usher stunning Bauhaus-inspired work out of the shops and into French homes nearby. At another showroom called Au Beau Bois, also in the French capital city, the Chouchan family was simultaneously selling home furnishings. The families met later when Philippe and François Roche convened with Patrick and Jean-Claude Chouchan at a furniture exhibition in Copenhagen in 1960 and afterward produced a catalog announcing their partnership. This set includes eight pieces. All pieces are also available individually.
