Artwork Description
This work, "Folon," is a poster created in 1990 for an exhibition at the Galerie des Arcades in Biot, Southern France. While being an exhibition poster, it is a highly accomplished work that condenses Jean-Michel Folon's refined aesthetic and poetic worldview.
Evoking the soft light and colors characteristic of the South of France, this work utilizes Folon's unique simple and symbolic forms. A quiet expanse unfolds within the restrained composition, inviting viewers into a dreamy and meditative space.
The phrase "colors of the South of France" in the dedication speaks to his familiarity with the rich light and atmosphere of the region, and also conveys the warm humanity that flows through Folon's work.
With the artist's handwritten dedication and signature, this work transcends a mere exhibition announcement poster to become an intimate and captivating collector's piece that conveys the connection between Folon and the South of France.
