Description
DAVID SCHLUSS (born 1943) Wedding signed ‘Schluss’ (bottom right) oil on canvas 91 × 121 cm Painted in the 1970s David Schluss, born in Israel in 1943, began studying art at a very young age. Influenced by great masters such as Chagall, Miró and Botero, Schluss developed his own style and painting technique. He began experimenting by painting with his hands, without a brush or palette knife. He explains: ‘With the palms of my hands, I can achieve a play of light that I could never achieve with a brush. I start with the abstract, then the figures emerge...’. A deeply symbolic depiction of a wedding reception rendered in Schloss’s characteristic semi-abstract style, where faceless figures blend into warm shades of ochre and cream beneath an enveloping canopy. The work embodies the themes of unity, spirituality and human intimacy. At the buyer’s request, we will be happy to provide a general report on the condition of the lot described above.
