(image) Certificate of authenticity Excellent condition Taken from the album Les mouches à Marier, created in tribute to Paul Marier, this print encapsulates the tension inherent in Riopellian gestures. The dazzling red lines intersect with compact black masses, composing an abstract style in which spontaneity and mastery are balanced. Vibrant and dense, the surface becomes a shifting territory that evokes both the natural dynamics dear to Riopelle and the very brilliance of his gesture.
