Acrylique sur toile de lin montée sur châssis, prête à accrocher. Côtés peints en noir.
Toile vernie, signée au dos et livrée avec un certificat d'authenticité de l'artiste.

L’œuvre intitulée « Sirocco » est une évocation de ce vent saharien très chaud et sec qui souffle au sud de la Méditerranée. La palette de couleurs est volontairement restreinte, principalement composée d’ombre brûlée, d’ocre rouge et jaune. Quelques touches de blanc, de noir et de terre rouge viennent apporter de la lumière par endroits tandis que le mouvement dominant de l’œuvre est nourri par une nappe sableuse et turbulente qui se soulève et tournoie, évoquant la touffeur et l’oppression de la composition.

Original hand-made painting created with acrylic paints on high-quality streched linen canvas ready to hang. Edges are painted in black.
The painting is coated with a high-gloss varnish, signed on the back and delivered with a certificate of authenticity from the artist.

The painting entitled « Sirocco » is an evocation of this very hot and dry Saharan wind that blows South of Mediterranean Sea. The colour palette is voluntarily limited, mainly composed of burnt umber, red and yellow ochre. A few touches of white, black and red earth bring some light in places while the dominant movement of the painting is fed by a large and turbulent strip of sand that rises and whirls, evoking the composition’s heat and oppression.

David Vall was born in France in 1978. Even though graphite pencil drawing, Chinese ink painting and Japanese calligraphy were early artistic interests to him, he turned towards higher education in science and became a researcher in behavioural neurosciences. Two years spent in British Columbia led him to discover natural scenery and lights of deep emotional intensity that awakened interest in the use of colours for his painting. His sources of inspiration are multiple: a piece of art he admired, the remembrance of scenery he contemplated, an emotion or a state of mind that holds on to his soul and wishes to take shape. Many of his artworks are also inspired by natural elements.

“We are dealing with artworks that start from reality observation – colors and textures are the proof – but there seems to be even more: an obvious emotional implication turning into a chaotic element that gives an extra dimension to the compositions. The colors are natural but become material and the contrasts are inevitably accentuated, the textures are those of the bark, the water or the soil, or even simply the sight of a landscape obscured by the mist. Despite the particular character of these works, we find a dynamism very engaging as well by their compositional development as by the chromatic contrasts, and even when these are absent, the textured materials compensate this lack. David Vall's landscapes revolve around the artist's sensitivity, establishing a privileged relationship between the viewer, the work and the author, in which the existence of such an intoxicating emotional dimension becomes the reason to give life to the works but also to enjoy them during a moment of relaxed contemplation.”
Marcello Cazzaniga, art critique and curator (translated from Italian).
