About The Artwork This painting is part of my very first work as far as painting goes. At the time, I was exclusively working with acrylics on canvas paper. I had no room to store a big canvas. I was extremely productive as I felt the passion coming to me and remaining with me. This painting needs to be framed or get on some support of some sort. It is created on a canvas paper, which gives some texture to the picture.

Judy Choate, Monsoon Building, acrylic, 40 x 30.
We are pleased to offer from our recent shipment from France, another impressive abstract expression painting by French abstract expressionist Christophe. There is an excitement in the art world when you find the artist that is going to be the next big thing. Christophe is that artist. His paintings have everything they need, The balance, the color, the values, the emotion, the composition and just the right amount of feeling. What makes his art special is that all of his paintings have that, not just one or two, all of them do. That is how you know you are looking at the art of someone that is destined to become the one that everyone wants to own. When his work arrives at the gallery every piece is superb with every element and brush stroke in the correct location. It is not a question of selecting which is the right work to show, they are all the right work. That is how you know he is the one to collect. We have offered his work at a price to appeal to collectors of every level. This painting on heavy-weight paper with Acrylic, oil stick and collage measures 47x 31" unframed and 53x37" framed. I have included close up details to show the detail in this abstract painting.
Glowing Stones This painting glows because the rock shapes are painted on aluminum foil with transparent Golden fluid acrylics. The light bounces off the foil and back through the paint glazes, giving a remarkable glowing effect. For more information, click here to see my website.
36x36" oil on canvas is striking with earth tones, fluid motion, and painted with finesse. This is signed on the back, varnished, and a one of a kind original artwork.

About The Artwork It’s no secret that snow and ice are becoming less common in Europe, and even in the Alps this year, there was little snow. It’s all due to global warming. Polar ice is melting rapidly. I tried to depict the disappearance of the ice in the picture. This canvas was inspired by exquisite patterns of melting ice.

About The Artwork A series of paintings "VIBRATIONS" Images from this series are based on a kind of sketches made in a specific place, at a specific time (place and time included in the title of the picture). A sketch, or rather a register of experienced vibrations transferred to the canvas, strengthened by the energy of music, which I listen to while working in my studio. However, I do not encourage recipients to read hidden meanings, it's not about "reading" my memories, it's about how you feel when you look at the picture. I deeply believe in spiritual connections between all things in the universe. Each form, shape and colour emanate a vibration of a specific frequency that affects us in a special way. Vibrations affect life, support and develop it, act as a catalyst. When creating a composition of images from this series, I wanted to affect the recipient, just like music, through senses and feelings. I deliberately gave up using symbols characteristic of only one culture. The manner of perception and the strength of these images depends on the sensitivity of the recipient. The realities of our times incline me to define the style of these paintings as "hyper-realistic" rather than abstract. I will, however, remain at the definition of abstract expressionism, because abstract art allows the transmission of deeper, more universal truths than naturalistic painting, which preserves a certain type of culturally defined message. It is worth noting that the images from the VIBRATIONS series harmonize with contemporary interiors, filling them with the energy necessary to communicate with another human being, to understanding themselves, as well as reaching beyond the terrestrial reality.

About The Artwork This painting is part of a series about The Transformation of the Vulnerability of Our Emotions, the poet Mary Oliver wrote: Someone I loved give me a Box full of Darkness. it took me years to understand that this too is a gift. In painting there is the possibility of feelings that keep recurring in our minds, for which we seem to have no solution, to descend into emotional depths that we have never known before and to transform these feelings into something beautiful. Suddenly it seems like every line can represent the curves and swings of our lives. in a darkness we can suddenly discover a color or a light. the pictures are all made with acrylic paint and partly pastel chalk, there are always several layers in which to work, the line organizes, the line shows the way. it often takes several sessions for the picture to emerge. the pictures all have one format and they are all very personal works the colors change from soft pink and light blue to strong green and violet, the style is dynamic gestures. The viewer has the opportunity to discover his own emotions or to create new ones.
