Titled “Les Blocs,” this piece features dimensional geometric forms that appear to project outward, rendered in rich shades of ochre, apricot, russet, and wheat over a deep espresso ground. The perspective and color gradients give it a strong architectural rhythm, echoing the Op-Art and Brutalist design movements of the era.

The work is executed over its original French printed canvas, and the reverse carries the artist’s signature along with the original size in centimeters — details consistent with small-studio textile artists working in France during the 1970s.
Framed in its original 1970s polished brass frame with a narrow orange enamel interior trim that echoes the palette beautifully. The wool retains its depth of color, and the raised texture casts soft shadows that change subtly with the light.

A compelling option for collectors of mid-century textile art or anyone looking for a sculptural French wall piece with graphic presence
