The artist's style and technique

Influenced by his Russian origins, André Lanskoy's works are characterized by abstract, dynamic and expressive representation. A great master of geometric form, color and texture, the artist succeeded in creating vibrant, captivating compositions. Indeed, color and material play a key role in his creations. He experiments by superimposing different layers of color to create effects of matter and relief, giving rise to serifs of almost sculptural proportions. Finally, to enhance his luminous works and attract the eye, he frequently used black backgrounds.

The life of André Lanskoy

André Lanskoy (1902-1976) studied in Saint Petersburg and then Kiev, and initially envisaged a military career. He joined the Kiev White Army during the 1917 revolution. From an early age, he showed a genuine interest in the visual expression of color in his everyday scenes, a passion that was to win him over. His talent and interest led him to change course.

André Lanskoy arrived in Paris in 1921 as a self-taught artist and turned to abstraction in 1938. He frequented art institutions and befriended renowned painters. Lanskoy exhibited successfully and collaborated with the Galerie Louis Carré. His abstract period is influenced by Paul Klee and Kandinsky, and his gestural, colorful style earns him recognition as a pillar of the "lyrical abstraction" movement, along with Olivier Debré.

In 1951, Lanskoy created tapestry cartoons for the manufacture d'Aubusson, one of which was acquired for the liner France in 1955. He also explores collage and the etching technique. The artist is also interested in mosaics.

By 1960, André Lanskoy achieves total mastery of his abstract expression. His artistic style is characterized by organic forms, vivid colors and expressive gestures. His abstract paintings reflect a freedom and energy emanating from his experiments with vibrant shapes and colors.
