Jean-pierre Serrier – The Dominant Woman (1969)

Jean-Pierre Serrier (1934-1989) The Dominant Woman, 1969 Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left Dimensions: 81 × 54 cm Provenance: Galerie Ferrero, Geneva, no. SR14 This 1969 composition illustrates Serrier's dreamlike and critical universe. The monumental female silhouette dominates the scene, revealing in its center a realistic nude woman, the incarnation of the essence of the feminine. Around her, a crowd of men in dark, uniform, and masked costumes evokes social alienation and submission. The opposition between individuality and anonymity, desire and control, is at the heart of the artist's symbolic vocabulary. Condition: good overall condition; fine horizontal wear visible in the center of the composition, without altering the integrity of the work.
