Marcus de Vestele (1941-2024) Cobra Scene – Characters Ink and watercolor on paper, 1975 Signature: Signed and dated at the bottom right: MARCUS 75 Studio stamp on the back: "Marcus de Vestele – Atelier de l’artiste" Dimensions: 56 × 47.5 cm Sold unframed Condition: Good general studio condition. Some light aging traces and waviness of the paper, in line with a work from the 1970s coming directly from the artist’s studio. Provenance: Artist’s studio of Marcus de Vestele. Description Beautiful Cobra composition by Marcus de Vestele, dated 1975. Three massive silhouettes, built with broad strokes of black ink, occupy the space. On the left, a darker and more tormented figure; in the center, a frontal, almost architectural character; on the right, a vertical form, like a stele or a frozen body. The background, lightly washed in blue and beige, lets the paper breathe. The treatment is typically Cobra: spontaneity of gesture, power of the black, constant tension between elemental figuration and abstraction. The scene has a theatrical presence, at once fragile and monumental, like a rite or a silent gathering. A sober, expressive work and emblematic of Cobra on paper by Marcus de Vestele in the mid-1970s, coming directly from the artist’s studio. Biography Marcus de Vestele (1941-2024) is a major Belgian artist, principally recognized as a marble sculptor (notably in Carrara and with Bardiglio marble). Parallel to his sculptural practice, he developed throughout his life a substantial pictorial production, long kept confidential and today sought after by collectors. Strongly influenced by the Cobra movement (Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, Corneille, Constant…), Marcus de Vestele drew inspiration from it to create abstract-figurative compositions of great expressive power. His on-paper works from the 1970s are characterized by spontaneous line, free gestural, and a constant tension between figuration and abstraction. His drawings, washes and gouaches combine the discipline of a sculptor with the lyrical and gestural explosion characteristic of Cobra. Directly from the studio, this on-paper production constitutes an essential and distinctive facet of his oeuvre, occupying a unique place in Belgian art of the second half of the 20th century.
