Oil-Painting by Jean Thomas (1923- 2019): `A Religious Life: Tower of Babel`

Oil-Painting by Jean Thomas (1923- 2019): `A Religious Life: Tower of Babel`

Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lyon, Jean Thomas began exhibiting his works as early as 1946. Following in the footsteps of the great painters of modernity, his early paintings echo Thomass biggest influences, namely Fernand Léger and Matisse. Some articles published about him discuss the assertion of a true artistic personality, comparing him to his contemporaries: Bernard Buffet, Aizpiri, Krol, Martinet, Patrix etc. From 1955 onwards, Jean Thomas focused primarily on landscape painting, through a precise study of light and great pictorial mastery. His works bear witness to a trend: the realistic post-war landscapes. As a professional painter, he exhibited his works on numerous occasions, most notably at the Art Gallery of Place Beauvau and at the Tournelle Gallery in Paris. In total, he participated in over a hundred exhibitions in France and abroad.Enclosed in a white frame, this painting was completed by Jean Thomas on the 9th of April 2001. Signed in the bottom right corner.

Flame Colored Copper Painting by Arthur UNGER. Signed.

Flame Colored Copper Painting by Arthur UNGER. Signed.

Arthur UNGER (1932- )Crafted through the intricate process of flame-painting on copper, this piece showcases an explosion of vibrant colors, from rich copper tones to iridescent pinks and greens. The unique patterns and textures are the result of intense heat transforming the metal, creating a one-of-a-kind work of art that cannot be replicated.This piece is sold without a frame.BiographyArthur Unger was born in 1932 in the city of Hespérange, Luxembourg.After graduting, he follows administration and management courses in Bruxelles, and then settle in Belgian Congo, where he had lived for 5 years, and specially with the tribes Lunda and Baluba. This long African journey is very important for the development of Arthur’s art.In 1963, back to Europe, he settles in Paris. There, he discovers the artistic life of the French Capital and makes his first drawings and gouaches.In 1968, he came back to Luxembourg, and invents a technique of drawing with Inidian Ink, and a painting technique uppon brass, using electrolytic cupper which became his favourite medium (he calls his new technique « pyrochemograms uppon cupper »).In 1970, he meets Michel Tapié ; it is a major event in the artistic life of Arthur. Tapié is very interested in Arthur’s work and writes the forewords of all the exhibitions by Arthur Unger in France and in the world. In 1980, Michel Tapié dedicated a monograph to Arthur Unger at the Galerie Sources in Paris.The personal exhibitions of the works of Arthur Unger mainly take place in France, in Luxembourg, in Germany and in Switzerland (three times at the Basel Art Fair).
