Pair Of Parisian Paintings Of An Orgy In Montmartre Signed Kosrine

Rare and fascinating diptych by Kosrine, depicting two night-time ball scenes where celebration mixes with voluptuousness. These dense and vibrant compositions are part of the great tradition of expressionist and festive paintings, where the body becomes language, and color, pure emotion. The canvases, teeming with entwined figures, musicians and faces with exacerbated features, depict a carnivalesque universe where euphoria borders on madness. The silhouettes brush past, seek each other out, embrace; gazes ignite to the rhythm of imaginary music, somewhere between cabaret and bacchanal. The warm and powerful palette, dominated by reds, golds and deep blues, underlines the dramatic tension of the scene. The nervous and sculptural line testifies to a free, passionate, almost theatrical hand. Each figure seems to have emerged from a feverish dream, between ecstasy and melancholy, as if Kosrine had wanted to capture the excess of pleasures and the beauty of the suspended moment. The artist - whose work remains rare and intriguing - evokes, through his expressionist style and his raw look at human passions, the worlds of George Grosz, Otto Dix or Bernard Buffet. His brush, both ironic and sensual, transforms debauchery into a pictorial ballet of great intensity. The two canvases can be presented side by side or separately; they form a veritable theater of human emotions, an ode to celebration, to the flesh and to freedom.
