Contemporary Figurative Painting on Gallery Wall, Paris

5 October 2017 · Paris

A large framed painting dominates a white gallery wall, its surface packed with cartoon-like figures milling across a ground of raw, saturated colour — yellows, reds, and muted blues colliding beneath an upper register of interlocking organic shapes. French words and phrases are painted directly into the composition, fragments of language embedded in the pigment rather than added after. The work sits somewhere between outsider art and formal contemporary painting: instinctive in its mark-making, deliberate in its density.
