Monumental Modern Original Abstract Painting by Alain Le Yaouanc, 1960s
About the Item
Alain Le Yaouanc (1931-2012) was a French painter and printmaker associated with the abstraction movement of the mid-twentieth century. He was known for his use of vibrant colors and geometric shapes, and his works often incorporated elements of the natural world.
Le Yaouanc studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the work of artists such as Nicolas de Staël and Pierre Soulages. He began exhibiting his paintings in the 1950s, and his work was included in major group shows in France and abroad.
In the 1960s, Le Yaouanc began experimenting with printmaking, and he became a master of the medium. He created a large number of prints, often using techniques such as lithography and etching to produce works that echoed the themes and styles of his paintings.
Throughout his career, Le Yaouanc remained committed to abstraction and to exploring the possibilities of color and form. His work has been shown in many major exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes.
This painting is a wonderful example of his work, as it features what he's best known for-- vibrant colors, and geometric shapes. This monumentally large piece has wonderful age and patina and while a half a century old, still is very current and would look incredible in any modern, mid century modern, or even post modern home. As photographed with a Paul Evans Argente Cube table and a Knoll BRNO Chair by Mies Van der Rohe. Such a striking piece!

Sculpta-Grille Bones Screen on Walnut Base by Richard Harvey, 1960s
By Richard Harvey
Located in Culver City, CA
If a space-age honeycomb and a brutalist dream had a baby, it’d be this sculptural stunner.
**We ship worldwide—often for the same cost as stateside. Our rates are insane. Message for a quote**
This sculptural screen is part of the legendary “Sculpta-Grille” series by architect Richard Harvey, who brought space-age swagger to Mid Century architecture with his futuristic resin forms. Originally conceived for use in commercial spaces like banks, casinos, and mod lounges, these panels were designed to divide space and steal the show. Today, surviving examples are rare—and coveted by collectors, designers, and editors alike.
This particular beauty is the cleanest one we've come across: the resin is bright and crisp, and the walnut base is rich, warm, and glowing with just the right amount of vintage character. It’s photographed here in our gallery alongside a Marta Blomstedt style scalloped back chair. We currently have this paired with a Paul Evans credednza, Milo Baughman sofa, and Hans Wegner Papa bear chair and not only does this piece hold its own-- it steals the show and makes a bold mid century modern statement!
Use it as a room divider, sculpture, or gallery wall anchor. It’s not just décor—it’s a conversation-stopping design artifact.
And bonus: we also have a second screen available, with more patina and a softer, creamier buttery ivory tone. Display one solo for impact, or double up for a modular moment worthy of a museum.
