Evocative and immersive, the composition conjures an ethereal landscape—part cavern, part cosmic expanse—where geological forms blur into a dreamlike terrain.

Rich, resonant blues and purples dominate the upper field, creating a deep, atmospheric void. From the shadows, intricate rock-like structures and stalagmite forms rise, while flashes of orange, red, and electric blue punctuate the scene, suggesting hidden passages and pools of inner light. The luminous core draws the eye inward, offering a contemplative focal point within the surrounding mystery.

Signed L. Berthon at the lower right, this work exemplifies the lyrical abstraction movement’s emotional depth and imaginative freedom. A compelling and contemplative piece, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of post-war French art seeking a bold, thought-provoking statement for a modern or transitional space. See less
