About the artwork
Crushed paper support forms the physical base for layered applications of black and red pigments, accented by sprayed white gestures across the central plane. The composition relies on the topography of crumpled paper to catch paint unevenly, producing deep shadows and high-contrast ridges throughout the surface. A signature in black ink appears in the lower right quadrant against a contrasting red and dark ground.
Expert opinion
Post-war European abstraction often encompassed experimentation with non-traditional application methods, bridging the gap between tachism and material art. Within the broader art market, works utilizing altered paper supports demonstrate the artist's exploration of volume and texture within a two-dimensional format.
About the artist
Born in Poland in 1921, Ladislas Kijno moved to France at an early age and spent much of his formative career associated with the cultural landscapes of northern France and Paris. His early artistic trajectory intersected with the philosophy of resistance during World War II and subsequent associations with prominent literary and artistic figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Aragon. Throughout the decades following the Second World War, the artist developed an abstract vocabulary characterized by physical manipulation of supports, heavy textures, and the integration of unconventional spray techniques. His oeuvre includes large-scale murals, stained glass, and numerous works on paper that reflect an engagement with post-war informal abstraction and expressive materiality.
