Monumental Mid-century French Artist's Palette

A monumental Mid-Century French artist’s palette acquired in Provence.

Retaining decades of accumulated paint and an extraordinary sculptural surface. Layers of impasto in vivid blues, greens, ochres, creams and crimson tones have transformed this utilitarian studio object into an abstract composition in its own right.

Exceptional in scale and visual impact, the palette is mounted on a bespoke iron hanging support and displays beautifully as wall-mounted artwork. The heavily textured paint surface records the history of an artist’s practice, creating a unique and highly decorative piece that sits comfortably between studio artefact, sculpture and abstract painting.
