The newsletter presents Robert Combas’s 2017 painting ‘Grand Casqueteur Râleur / Pierre Pelegrin’, an acrylic on canvas measuring 202 by 144 centimetres, and also includes his 1987 work ‘Crucifixion Anormale’, identified as an acrylic painting on canvas.
‘Crucifixion Anormale’ is specified as measuring 96 by 176 centimetres.
Born in Lyon in 1957, Combas is described as one of the leading figures of Figuration Libre, a French movement that emerged in the early 1980s.
His distinctive language is marked by vivid colours, bold outlines and spontaneous gestures, combining humour, provocation and freedom in an approach to painting that blends popular culture, art history and personal imagination.
The gallery describes his works as driven by a desire to leave painting free to find its own path, constantly seeking to redefine the use of colour, space and figuration.
