Francis Sallès (1926-2003) is a French painter. Born in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, he spent a large part of his life in Paris. He fully aligned himself with the artistic movement of New figuration. This pictorial current emerged in the mid-20th century in reaction to abstraction. Sallès developed a distinctive style blending human silhouettes and objects. His canvases frequently explore themes of reinvented still lifes. Among his notable works, Les Objets Captifs, painted in 1958, stands out. His compositions are characterized by a strong tension between forms. The artist regularly exhibits his works in prestigious Parisian galleries. Thus, the Ariel Gallery highlighted his work during the 1970s. The film world took an interest in his work, notably attracting John Huston. The famous American director indeed acquired some of his canvases. Other major contemporary artists, such as Karel Appel, collect his paintings. Today, his works still appear in international auctions. He passed away in 2003 in Paris, leaving the mark of a modern figurative artist.
