Barbe des rites
A chaotic tangle of gestural lines and raw, earthy textures dominates this canvas, reflecting Dubuffet's celebrated Art Brut aesthetic and its embrace of untrained, instinctive mark-making. Dense, writhing forms emerge from a heavily worked surface, evoking primitive ritual and visceral energy. The composition challenges conventional notions of beauty, drawing inspiration from graffiti, children's drawings, and the art of the untrained hand.
