Description
Michel Duport (born 1943) - Nîmes. Original lithograph on wove paper, 56 x 76 cm . Signed in pencil by the artist, enriched with a handwritten dedication and numbered 7/20. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work is a powerful graphic and architectural interpretation in which Michel Duport explores the identity of the Roman city through the prism of constructive abstraction. A sculptor and painter, Duport applies his thinking on volume and space here, using lithography to structure geometric shapes that evoke the monumentality of Nîmes. The composition plays on rigorous balances and contrasts of mass, where the line dialogues with flat areas of dense colour, characteristic of his research into the physicality of the work of art. The artist succeeds in capturing the essence of southern light while imposing a modern, synthetic reading of the urban landscape. The very limited edition of just 20 copies, combined with an autograph dedication, gives this print an exceptional rarity and an intimate dimension. The large format allows us to fully appreciate the tension between the rigour of the line and the vibrancy of the colour. It is a major collector's item for lovers of contemporary art and regional themes, perfectly illustrating Duport's ability to reinvent place through the power of poetic geometry. His hand signature attests to the authenticity of this sober yet monumental board.
