About the Item

This artwork plunges us into an introspective contemplation where the subtlety of the details explores the limits of abstraction. Judiciously playing with attenuated contrasts and pure lines, it distills a sensation of movement framed by an aesthetic of darkness. The watercolor, which is not signed, raises the question of visibility and presence in which the symbolism of the night becomes a vector of meaning. At the crossroads between abstraction and cubism, colors and light play a central role. An interesting parallel with studies on chiaroscuro appears in this nocturnal atmosphere. This technique typically plays on sharp contrasts between light and shadow.
