Alain de Cerval Mid-Century Modern Style Abstract Oil on canvas Painting, 1997

About the Item

This striking large-scale oil on canvas, executed in 1997 by French artist Alain de Cerval, serves as a sophisticated dialogue between Mid-Century Modern geometry and late 20th-century abstraction. Painted at de Cerval’s "La Ruol" studio in Puget-Ville, the composition utilizes a bold, "flat-tone" palette of cobalt blue, forest green, and mustard yellow, anchored by puzzle-like organic forms outlined in thick, structural brushwork reminiscent of the CoBrA movement. De Cerval, an alumnus of the Académie Charpentier in Paris, masterfully balances vibrant primary colors with earthy terracotta tones, creating a sense of architectural depth within a two-dimensional plane. The work is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right, with original studio inscriptions preserved on the reverse stretcher. Housed in its original white gallery frame, this piece embodies the playful yet rigorous spirit of Provençal modernism, making it a commanding focal point for any contemporary or transitional interior.
