An expressive modern figurative abstract oil painting on paper titled "Petite Nuit I" by Pierre Marie Brisson. Original gallery tag on verso. Brisson is a French painter whose work appropriates the forms, concepts, and imagery of art history. Spanning from prehistoric art to Rococo and Modernism, his work blur the lines of authorship and reference. Brisson describes his work as representative of the space left behind, "What's central to my works is the shape of a person, or what's left of that shape--for it can become something else." Over the years, his work has been exhibited internationally, at spaces including the Musee Faure in Aix-les-Bains and Franklin Bowles Gallery in New York. The artist currently lives and works in Paris, France. From a private collection. Dimensions: 23"h x 14.5"w (framed). In very good condition.
