Artwork sold in perfect condition
Artwork location: France
This artwork features a dynamic and complex composition, inspired by cubism and surrealism. The human figures, with their distorted forms and intense colors, evoke an inner and emotional exploration. The extensive use of red, blue and black tones creates a striking contrast that immediately captures attention. The abstract lines suggest a ceaseless movement and a duality between the mystical and the earthly. The delicately detailed glass in the foreground adds a touch of reality to this dreamlike scene. The labyrinthine patterns in the background reinforce the idea of a psychological journey, while the elements reminiscent of wings or feathers introduce a spiritual dimension. This work invites reflection on identity and perception, while being a masterful example of modern narrative art.

Presentation
Claude Routier was born on March 12, 1943. "He was from Sète, as one would say from France, and he was very surprised when people asked him where this city was." He would not leave his city until he was 27 to pursue a career in National Education. He wanted to be a pediatrician, he would become a physical education teacher, not out of desire, but out of a need to earn a living.
At the age of 20 he received a box of paints as a gift: "it was his entry into painting, decisive and without return". His first personal exhibitions took place in the 70s.
At the age of 41, he stopped his job as a teacher to devote himself exclusively to painting and writing because "he wanted his painting to read like a book."
A lasting friendship binds him to Pierre François, one of the fathers of Free Figuration. Like him, he feels like a "brother in painting" of the artists who preceded him.
He works without a model, without any preliminary sketch, drawing or eraser. In his canvases, pastels and murals, his expression is always spontaneous, without codes or barriers.
"This magician of images and poet of colors" put down his brushes for good in November 1999, he died at the age of 56.
