Veronique Wirbel : "the Man And The Turtle"

Véronique Wirbel (1950-1990) 21: “The Man and the Turtle”, oil on canvas 65 X 46 cm, bearing the studio stamp at the bottom right and on the back, mounted in an old stripped oak frame 79 X 60 cm. There are encounters that, in hindsight, seem obvious to you. This is the case with the work of Véronique Wirbel, who died tragically at barely 40 years old, teeming like a child's imagination, colorful like the fabrics of Africa that she knew well for having spent her childhood there and communicative of a joy that apparently, alas! she did not share... Of course, we could find her relatives with Corneille, Basquiat, James Brown or Aloïse, but she was Wirbel, quite simply. This painting with intense hues comes from the studio of the Artist that we were lucky enough to acquire and that we will gradually prepare and put up for sale. We are constantly looking for works by this artist. Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or phone.
