About the artwork
This composition combines layered paint application, expressive calligraphic brushstrokes, and collage elements incorporating printed fragments. The color palette spans neutral tones, black, white, and vibrant accents of green and pink, overlaid with drips and scraped textures. Created in 1986, the piece reflects the artist's engagement with Neo-Expressionist tendencies and mixed-media experimentation prevalent during the period. The integration of found paper fragments and raw gestural markings establishes a dense surface rhythm.
Expert opinion
Emerging from the intersection of European abstract painting and material exploration of the 1980s, this piece exemplifies the artist's focus on surface texture and improvised gestural layout. Works of this type occupy a secondary market niche appreciated by collectors of late 20th-century French abstraction.
About the artist
Philippe Charpentier (b. 1949, Paris) is a French painter whose practice explores abstraction through material, gesture, and the construction of layered surfaces. His compositions often incorporate diverse elements, including collage, printed text, graphic forms, and expressive marks, creating a dialogue between painting and found visual material.
Throughout his career, Charpentier has developed a tactile and experimental approach to abstraction, in which texture, accumulation, and fragmentation play a central role. His work belongs to the broader landscape of post-war and contemporary French abstraction and has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in France and elsewhere in Europe.
