[surrealism Curiosity Magritte] Becarud (gerard) - Oil On Canvas; Signed.

BECARUD (Gérard). [Oil on canvas ; signed] ''Magritta''. Dimensions: 558 x 458 mm. Singular composition signed [Gérard] Becarud on the lower right margin and dated 1998. Captioned on the reverse: Magritta. ''The word that spontaneously arises to describe the works of Gérard Becarud is provocation. Whatever their reaction, the visitor is inevitably fascinated, perplexed and surprised, as the artist's audacity is accompanied by talent! A foolproof technique “authorizes” him to “commit” the most extravagant “narratives”! Everything happens as if his innate sense of excess led Gérard Bécarud to choose a scene where nothing should happen, to extract from it the grotesque quintessence, the sort of snapshots of the most down-to-earth fantasies, of mediocrity and ugliness exacerbated.
