Boquet Jean, Belgian Painter (1908-1976), Geometric Abstraction,

Jean Boquet is a Belgian painter born in Brussels in 1908. He died there in 1976. He trained as an artist at the Academie de Molenbeek-St-Jean, his birthplace. He began his artistic career in a figurative style strongly influenced by neo-expressionism. Later, he evolved towards a more stripped-down style, more geometrically structured landscapes mainly focused on the use of triangles and strong colours. These increasingly synthetic landscapes over time led him episodically towards totally abstract creations. This is exactly the case with the work that I am presenting to you for sale. It is a large oil on canvas, probably dating from the 1960s. It is a very unusual piece from the very limited series of his rare totally abstract works. We can find his favourite geometric shape, the triangle, as well as the use of both pure and strong colours. This work exudes a beautiful harmony, both stylistic and chromatic. It has an original workshop frame. It is in very good condition, with a few tiny traces of use and its colors are still very fresh. This is therefore a work of beautiful quality, as rare as it is decorative. It is signed at the bottom left.
