Philippe Charpentier (20th century) Mixed media on canvas, 1997. This work by Philippe Charpentier, created in 1997, fully illustrates his exploration of material and colour. The composition, dominated by yellow, blue, and grey tones, creates a subtle balance between brightness and depth, inviting both a sensitive and structured reading. The artist employs a mixed technique combining acrylic, knife work, and collage, giving the surface a rich texture and a perceptible relief. The impasto and collages provide visual dynamism, while the colour overlays enhance the sense of movement and construction. Overall, it reflects a mature artistic exploration, where material becomes a true pictorial language. This work coherently fits within the artist's contemporary production and will appeal to both abstract art enthusiasts and collectors sensitive to material works.
