Additional details: This original exhibition poster was created for FIAC 1983 (Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain), one of the most important international contemporary art fairs held annually in Paris. The poster features a vibrant and imaginative composition by Bjørn T. Hansen, presented under the auspices of Galerie Nør. The image is rich with symbolic and dreamlike elements: a stylized figure clad in a striped, pyramid-like garment stands in a surreal landscape populated by hybrid forms—a bird-like creature, abstract foliage, and celestial motifs. The composition blends playful geometry with expressive, almost mythological imagery, reflecting a distinctly personal visual language rooted in both modernist abstraction and narrative symbolism. Hansen’s use of bold, contrasting colors—deep blues, vivid oranges, and luminous accents—creates a dynamic tension within the composition, while the flattened perspective and decorative border enhance its graphic impact. The work evokes a sense of fantasy and introspection, inviting viewers into a world where figuration and abstraction coexist fluidly. As a FIAC poster, this piece represents a moment in the early 1980s when the international art scene was expanding rapidly, and fairs like FIAC were becoming key platforms for emerging and established artists alike. Posters from this period are increasingly appreciated not only as promotional material but as collectible works that capture the energy and diversity of contemporary art at the time. Printed in the pre-digital poster era, this example retains the richness and vibrancy of traditional offset printing, with strong color saturation and crisp detail. A visually striking and historically relevant piece, appealing to collectors of contemporary art, European exhibition posters, and 1980s graphic design. Framing available upon request. Shipping Size:
