Jean Michel Atlan

Jean-Michel Atlan is a major figure in the French lyrical abstraction of the post-war period. His work is characterized by a dense and expressive painting, where primitive forms, archaic signs and deep colors dialogue in a permanent tension. Halfway between abstraction and symbolic figuration, Atlan develops a powerful universe, almost mythological, carried by raw and instinctive energy. His painting seeks construction less than intensity, making the canvas a space of inner forces and resonances.
