Untitled (Female Figure)
Mixed media on panel, signed and dated 1993 lower right
Measures 40 x 30 cm
Presented in a Noble Frame
This evocative mixed media painting by Bert Bellanger presents a contemplative female figure rendered with expressive restraint and strong graphic presence. The figure, shown in profile and partially enveloped by layered textures, emerges from a richly worked background composed of warm reds, ochres, and intersecting geometric strokes. The interplay between figuration and abstraction creates a sense of quiet tension and introspection.
Bellanger’s technique combines painterly gestures with graphic elements, lending the work both depth and immediacy. The use of mixed media enhances the surface, where areas of opacity and transparency coexist, guiding the viewer’s eye between the figure and the surrounding space. The composition suggests influence from modern figurative traditions, while maintaining a personal, intimate visual language.
Signed and dated 1993, this work reflects Bellanger’s mature approach, balancing structure and emotion. Presented in an ornate frame that contrasts elegantly with the contemporary nature of the painting, it is a distinctive piece that speaks to the enduring appeal of expressive figurative art from the late 20th century.
Bert Bellanger was a 20th-century artist whose work reflects the stylistic diversity of modern European art. Active during a period marked by experimentation and evolving artistic movements, Bellanger explored form and composition with a personal and expressive approach. His works often demonstrate a sensitivity to color, balance, and structure, placing them within the broader context of modern figurative and abstract tendencies of the century. Though discreet in public exposure, his œuvre remains appreciated by collectors for its authenticity and period character.
