Expressionist Oil Painting on a Paris Gallery Wall

5 October 2017 · Paris

A large expressionist oil painting dominates a white gallery wall in Paris — dark, churning earth tones in the lower half, a pale distorted figure emerging at the top with dashes of cobalt blue and yellow. The composition pulls in two directions at once: the figure rises out of the landscape and seems to dissolve back into it. A small wall label sits to the right, the only interruption to the whitewash surrounding it.
