Michel POTAGE (1949-2020) - Lot 294
Michel POTAGE (1949-2020) The middle-off, 2002 Oil on canvas Signed, titled, dated and dedicated on the back 73 x 60 cm Note: In The middle-off (2002), Michel Potage's painting is thick and expressive, transforming the representation of a bouquet into an exploration of gesture and texture. Produced in oil on canvas, the work stands out for its generous use of paste, applied in relief, almost sculpted, giving the flowers a strong, almost raw, physical presence. The contrast between the dark background, worked in broad, deep layers, and the light impasto of the central motif reinforces the impression of emergence. The bouquet seems to appear out of the shadows, like a fragile yet obstinate form, characteristic of Michel Potage's aesthetic, where the subject is less important than the energy of the gesture. The deliberately rough treatment, close at times to informal art or certain neo-expressionist practices, translates an instinctive, direct painting style, in which the material becomes the true language. Signed, titled, dated and dedicated on the back, this canvas bears witness to the artist's constant search for spontaneity, the tension between figure and abstraction, and her very physical relationship with painting.
