Work description

Very fine oil on canvas signed by French artist Jean-Pierre Floch. This work is characteristic of his mature period, when he explores the boundary between figuration and abstraction.

The painting depicts a still life treated with sculptural power. Here, Floch uses his preferred technique: the application of color with a knife. The broad flat tints of brilliant red and ultramarine blue are sculpted into the material, offering vigorous relief and deep luminosity.
