Oil On Canvas - Alex Tomaszyk - Saint-benoit De Carmaux - Tarn - 1968

Very beautiful oil on canvas by the painter Alex Tomaszyk Entitled "Landscape of Saint-Benoit de Carmaux", this work is emblematic of the painter's work. Dated lower right 1968 60x73cm A hole to report at the top right (nothing serious) Exhibited for the first time at the Gaillac museum in 1955, Alex Tomaszyk (1928-2021) was immediately received by critics as a young artist with already established talent. A self-taught painter, who became a true colorist, the artist is also a portrait painter and a great landscape painter. Alex Tomaszyk was able to render with his shades of gray and the red and wine tones that characterize his palette, all the poetry of the landscapes dear to his heart: hillsides of Albi, Carmaux, Gaillac, or even mining landscapes, a true tribute to his profession. Very free in his representations, not claiming to belong to any particular school, the style of his works varies from expressionist figuration to cubism to abstraction, reflecting a great independence, driven only by the pleasure of painting.
