In this surreal composition by Heinrich M. Frama the artist clumps a group of figures towards the middle of the composition, the way the figures merge with one another creating an undefined triangular mass of monochromatic figures. Here, the artist uses impossible combinations of objects, abstract and fantastic shapes and vaguely defined figures and complementary colors allowing for greater contrast in specific areas of the composition.
Born ca.1949 in Slovenia, (then Austria later Yugoslavia) autodidact; Communist Political prisoner; Escapes to Italy; 1980, is established in France; 1991, enters Guinness for a sale at 150 million francs, record for a living artist.
He geometrizes in the strictest way the figuration by declining all the blues of his palette, with their gradations. Perspectives lurk around minimalism, Towards the discovery of America, (1991), inanimate, fleeing from rails and panels, reddens crypting faces "of natives" mixed with those of immigrants. His Workshop, (2007), also inanimate, is a pretext for two large flat, one white, the other blue, with an escape to the outside. Another Atelier, history of the artist, Is filled with emblematic objects, palette, brush, finished paintings including a model in blue, separations in the room by equidistant bars and pendant from the ceiling, a key that the artist seeks to catch. Besides, in small format, a cluster of ocher figures, a kind of terra-cotta sculpture with lighted eyes, stands out against a blue background (2007). It is also portrait of de Gaulle seen in profile, (1990).
Exhibitions: 1980, salon des Independants, Paris; 1985, international trade fair, Geneva; 1990, Museum of the Mrine, Paris, (P); 2008, Caplain-Matignon, Paris, (P).
Public places; Three tons of paint for the French colors all around the column of the Bastille in Paris, (1989).
