Bobine

1956

Jean Fautrier's *Bobine* is a richly textured mixed media work on paper laid on canvas, showcasing the French artist's signature materiality and gestural abstraction. Thick, impastoed layers of pigment build up the surface into a tactile, almost sculptural relief, evoking both sensory immediacy and emotional depth. The composition balances raw, organic forms with a restrained palette, reflecting Fautrier's influential role in the development of Art Informel and Tachisme in post-war European modernism.
