Surrealist and minimalist monotype painting signed by Pierre WASSEF - 1990

Hello, I am offering this child’s portrait in the style of Joan Miró as a unique (rare) monotype, signed P. WASSEF for Pierre WASSEF, born in 1945. In a universe imbued with dreamlike poetry, fine lines incisively etched sketch with extreme sobriety the features of a child’s face. A minimalist profile is barely discernible through the outline of a nose and light curves evoking naivety and innocence. Surrounding this abstract physiognomy is a constellation of geometric shapes and orbs in soft hues oscillating between earthy red and smoky grey. The textured and scratched material of the background adds a mysterious depth, like a childhood memory etched in the mind. The minimalist ensemble is a surreal and semi-abstract composition, delicately suspended between dream, childhood, and lyrical abstraction. Dimensions of the artwork: 44 X 37 cm. Dimensions of the frame with glass: 58 X 64 cm. Shipping without glass. A monotype is a printing process without engraving that produces a unique print. It involves painting with typographic ink, oil paint, or gouache on a non-porous surface such as glass, metal, or plexiglass. In perfect condition, sold without glass to avoid breakage during delivery. For a hand delivery, the glass is included. It has been exhibited at the JACOB gallery in PARIS.
