The composition draws strongly from Cubist and Post-Cubist abstraction, with fractured perspective, angular linear divisions and overlapping planes creating a sense of depth and movement. The saturated color passages introduce a distinctly late-20th-century energy, with echoes of Fauvist color theory and European Modernism.

Signed “Fournier” and dated “89” at lower left.

Presented under glass with a wide ivory mat in a substantial textured giltwood frame. The restrained, subtly-textured gold finish works particularly well with the warm tones and intricate patterns in the painting and gives the piece considerable decorative presence.

An unusually appealing late-1980s abstract with a palette and graphic quality that feels remarkably current. Excellent for a collected contemporary interior, Parisian-inspired apartment, modernist space or as a counterpoint to traditional furnishings. See less
