Dominique Thiolat - Abstract Composition - Oil On Canvas Signed And Dated.

Abstract compositionOil on canvas, signed and dated lower right “D. Thiolat 88”Elegant and powerful abstract composition by Dominique Thiolat, a contemporary French painter born in 1946 in Blois, trained at the École Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques Penninghen, the Académie Charpentier and the Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The canvas perfectly illustrates the artist's unique universe, at the crossroads of American gestural abstraction and suggested figuration, nourished by the legacy of Manet and European modernity. The large colored masses, between deep black, incandescent red and luminous bursts, are crossed by intense vibrations where gesture, material and light combine to give the whole a poetic and dramatic force. The year 1988 corresponds to a period of maturity for Thiolat, whose work is distinguished by a great pictorial freedom, a bodily energy of gesture and a constant search for the balance between shadow and light.
