Product Details
Description
Abstract impressionist oil on paper on board by French artist Chantal Payet. Signed and dated April '96 to the reverse.
An interesting and challenging Abstract Impressionist work in blues and greys. A painting that reveals itself over time. Initially the eye catches abstract forms strongly delineated with pencil marks which then morph into faceless intertwined figures stretching across the page. The images are then blurred with loose brush work to bring the image out of focus once more and present to us a mass or melting pot of bodies. The eye therefore is in constant motion moving in and out of the painting searching at times for detail and at times taking in the whole all the time asking questions as to who are these people, what is their relation, why are they there?
Chantal Payet, who was born in 1955 in Lyon and continues to live and work there in Tarare, began exhibiting her work in France and abroad in the 1980s.
