Jean Dubuffet — Le Gommeux
Jean Dubuffet

Le Gommeux

1972

"Le Gommeux" by Jean Dubuffet is a striking work executed in vinyl and acrylic on Klegecell glazed fiberglass, showcasing the artist's signature Art Brut aesthetic. Bold, black contour lines fragment the surface into a dynamic mosaic of interlocking shapes, filled with vivid patches of color that evoke both spontaneity and raw energy. The work exemplifies Dubuffet's lifelong challenge to traditional notions of beauty and artistic refinement, embracing a deliberately crude yet visually compelling visual language.
