This artwork is an abstract composition that immediately captures attention with its bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors. Dominated by blocks and cubes of various sizes, the canvas is distinguished by the dynamic arrangement of its elements. The light blue background contrasts sharply with the warm, bright colors of the geometric shapes - vibrant yellows, deep reds, and luminous whites - which seem to stand out from the background. The verticality and spatial arrangement of the blocks give an impression of construction, even of minimalist modern architecture. A particularly intriguing detail is the cube at top left, adorned with red and white stripes, which appears to float or fall, adding a touch of movement to an otherwise static scene. This inclusion transports the viewer beyond simple observation, inviting them to consider the possibilities of movement and transformation. The use of shadows and shading adds depth and volume, giving the shapes a tangible three-dimensional presence. The color palette, although restrained, is employed strategically to maximize visual impact, with each hue playing a crucial role in the overall harmony of the work. In short, this work is an ode to simplicity and complexity. With its carefully calibrated geometric shapes and contrasting colors, it celebrates the limitless potential of abstraction to provoke the imagination and evoke feelings of curiosity and reflection.

This seller rewards your purchases of multiple artworks
In the tradition of great production designers (Alexandre Trauner, Ken Adam), Dean Tavoularis has discreetly established himself in the history of cinema, leaving his mark on around thirty films, including almost the entire work of Francis F. Coppola.
Trained at Disney (Lady and the Tramp, Mary Poppins), this son of Greek immigrants, settled in California, took drawing and architecture classes, before materializing the plans of Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde, Little Big Man) and Michelangelo Antonioni (Zabriskie Point). Each of his shoots requires long hours of location scouting and documentary research, his secret for defining the opaque atmosphere of The Godfather or the humidity of Apocalypse Now, the misty exteriors of Hammett by Wim Wenders or the coquettish interiors of Carnage, his last film, directed by Roman Polanski in 2011. Since then, in Paris where he lives with the actress Aurore Clément, Dean Tavoularis paints canvases which he exhibits alongside the storyboards of his brother Alex, the very ones which were used studying the settings of his films.
