Oil on canvas
A thoughtful exploration of color and abstraction, this original painting entitled Le serpentin was created by French artist Georges Terzian. Reminiscent of the groundbreaking Cubist works of the early 20th century, the artist’s composition reflects the influences of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Though Terzian sometimes indulged in more figurative geometric abstraction, this oil on canvas is completely non-figural. Instead, the artist's vivid color palette of reds, blues, oranges and greens shines, with a geometric snaking form reminiscent of the titular animal.
Born to parents of Armenian origin mere months before the outset of the Second World War, Georges Terzian enrolled in L'École de Beaux-Arts of Marseille at the young age of 14, where he began his formal training in drawing and painting. The young artist quickly became immersed in creative circles around Marseille but was forced to put his artistic pursuits on hold for the duration of the Algerian War. Finally settling in Paris in the 1960s, he took up his passion once more, painting landscapes in an impressionistic style reminiscent of Paul Cézanne. The artist’s compositions matured over the following two decades. He developed a highly individual post-Cubist style as he began to explore color and geometric abstraction, looking back to the groundbreaking work of artists like Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Terzian's work has achieved wider international acclaim following a highly successful solo exhibition at Galerie Giovanni in Paris, and his dynamic artworks reside in prestigious private collections worldwide.
