Abstract artworks

Geometric abstraction

Dark blue

Artwork sold in perfect condition

Artwork location: France

This captivating work of art is a masterpiece of contemporary abstraction. Against a dense black background, a profusion of vibrant geometric shapes collide and complement each other in a harmonious and vibrant dance. Sinuous curves, perfect circles and rectangular segments, all adorned with bold and vivid hues, come to life on the canvas. The bright colours – pink, yellow, blue and green – are applied with an intensity that immediately captures the eye, establishing a striking contrast with the dark background. Each shape seems to levitate, adding an almost three-dimensional dimension to the whole. The slightly visible texture of the black background reveals a skillful technique, highlighting the importance of craftsmanship in the execution of this work. The arrangement of shapes and colours is masterful. The undulating curves seem to escape from their frame, breaking with the more rigid lines of the rectangles and squares, creating a dynamic and balanced visual rhythm. This carefully calculated, yet seemingly chaotic composition invites the viewer to explore every corner of the canvas, discovering subtle interactions between colors and shapes. The star symbol within the blue circle at the top right of the canvas represents an intriguing focal point. It draws the eye and invites deeper interpretation, perhaps suggesting a center of gravity or point of origin in this vibrating universe. This work embodies energy, vitality, and the relentless quest for balance between order and chaos. It transcends the limitations of traditional painting to offer an immersive and stimulating visual experience. A true tour de force of abstraction that is sure to provoke reflection and admiration.

Carole Duhayer, Numéro 5

Carole Duhayer

France  • 1978

Presentation

Carole Duhayer lives and works in Paris. She was born in 1978. She traveled across Europe and the United States before studying Design at the Nissim de Camondo school in Paris. She also studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in James Bloedé's studio.

It was while visiting Serge Poliakoff's exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art that she had a real aesthetic shock. The second after the Alhambra in Granada and its Moorish architecture, his drawing in stone lace. The trigger to produce a first collection of drawings..

She then presented them in the process during an exhibition taking place in Saint Germain des Prés.

Her diploma from the Ecole Camondo, obtained in 2005, certainly has a lot to do with it since she always experiments with notions of colors, space and form. She combines these disciplines in the same formal research around the motif and the ornament and questions the decorative reinterpretation claimed by Klee or Matisse.

Her activity in art extends into the world of design where she has collaborated on international projects with Philippe Starck, Tino Zervudachi, Gilles & Boissier among others; Samsung Electronics and Onboards Controls (aeronautics).

Her plastic research brings together the scientific and artistic worlds in a methodical and synthetic approach. The plant, the cell, and growth inspire her to create drawings with ornamental forms in a creative effervescence. Shapes and colors are articulated in a quest for movement, a dynamic drawing: it is a narration of the pictorial motif towards a "dance" of the form.

Color as a motif to develop a pictorial poetry, a subtle hybridization between baroque and minimalism... between gesture and neutrality, reason and feeling, all her creation is a geometry that evokes sensory mechanics where the balance of shapes and colors is subtle and infinite.

She exhibits regularly at Saint Germain des Près (sponsored by Pierre Cornette de Saint Cyr) as well as at Castel (Paris 6th) recently around the fashion image highlighted by her pictorial motifs as if to remember the modernity dear to Baudelaire... images and therefore digital icons that also inscribe her painting in contemporary fashion.
