UZER (XXth) - Lot 39

UZER (XXth) Ne vois rien venir, Paris, 1992 Oil on canvas Titled, signed and dated on back Situated and dated (19)92 on the back Dimensions with frame : 96 x 56 cm Dimensions unframed: 78.5 x 38.5 cm Note: In this oil on canvas from 1992, Uzer develops an expressionist approach to the body, playing on distortion and suggestion rather than precise figuration. The subject - a fragmented nude, seen in profile - is revealed in a tangle of thick, nervous, almost sculptural brushstrokes that densify the pictorial material. The chromatic range, dominated by bluish grays and muted beiges, creates a melancholy, interior atmosphere, reinforced by the title Ne vois rien venir, whose scope seems introspective. The overall effect is one of gesture and texture: the successive impastos shape the volume more than they describe it, placing the painting in a lyrical and sensitive vein, where the body becomes a pretext for exploring matter and light.
