Glazed ceramic tile depicting a large stylized sun with an anthropomorphic face, signed Dominique Beaudart, active in Die (Drôme). The blue-gray speckled background contrasts with the bright yellow and orange, emphasizing the graphic, abstract features of the face. The clean contours, rounded shapes and bright colors give the piece a playful, symbolic dimension.
This style is in keeping with the neo-figurative vein of the 1980s and 1990s, blending influences from Libre Figuration, late pop art and a certain modern primitivism. In places, the inspiration recalls the graphic approaches of Picasso or Basquiat, with a desire for dialogue between learned art and spontaneous expression.
