Les Simonnet unique pieces diptych paint on lucite framed 1996
-
Description
This unique composition, conceived by Les Simonnet, dates back to 1996. Crafted on lucite, the two paintings are nestled within painted wooden shadow boxes. The abstract forms are mirrored from one painting to the other in negative space, while the choice of blue and orange frames contributes to establishing a harmonious color balance. This artwork perfectly embodies the essence of Simonnet's art, skillfully merging geometry with organic shapes, thus extending the biomorphic explorations pioneered by Arp in the 1930s. The paintings are in excellent condition, signed and dated on the back.
Jean Marie (1920-2008) and Martha Simonnet (1925-2012) were french sculptors and painters recognized for blending classical techniques with avant-garde concepts and pioneering the innovative use of plastic as their primary material. Inspired by surrealism and existential philosophy, their works explored themes of human connection and identity, leaving a lasting impact on the art world with their emotional resonance. -
