The shipping cost is higher than usual: very large panel, 116 × 100 cm Description of the work Large composition by Gundi Falk, circa 2000, built with fields of primary colors, black outline and pasted papers. Bottom left, a blue profile stands out against a yellow background, the eye circled by a gray line, the mouth open on white bands. In the center, a red mask with a blue eye faces a large yellow head, while a second red and white face occupies the right. A blue and white bird – or a beak – perched at the top right, white teeth cut out of black. The body red, on the right, bears two dark buttons, a white triangle adhered, and a striped blue-and-white collar, also pasted. The background is brushed in black, broad and swift. The collages — white triangle, striped paper, white dot on the yellow, blue wave — break the painted surface and give the whole its assemblage quality. The monogram “G” is traced bottom left; the workshop stamp “GUNDI FALK / BRUXELLES” appears on the back. The energy recalls Fernand Léger through the volumes, the black contour and the primary palette, with a more direct, almost playful freedom in the masks and the bird. A former contemporary dancer, Falk translates the body through the rhythm of the gesture rather than through anatomy. Generous format, 116 × 100 cm, a piece with character, strong on the wall. Biography of the artist Gundi Falk, born in 1966 near Salzburg, Austria, is a versatile visual artist: painter, draftsman, sculptor and former contemporary dancer. Her work explores movement, rhythm, space and organic forms, at the border between abstraction and figuration. Since 2011, she has collaborated with experimental photographer Pierre Cordier on chemigrams.

This composition in primary colors, both architectural and free, will be a true focal point in a contemporary interior. Its generous format, its Léger-like lineage and its Miró-esque whimsy make it a very strong statement piece.
