Huge French 1900-1999 Painting Sunlit Sea and Netting Over Abstract

Abstract Expressionist Composition by Gilbert Pelissier (French born 1924) signed, inscribed verso dated 84 oil painting on canvas, unframed canvas size: 20 x 24 inches condition: overall very good, a few minor surface scuffs from being stored in the artists studio provenance: all the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artists estate, Paris, France. Description: This captivating surrealist oil painting blends the elements of earth, sea, and sky into a dreamlike composition that invites viewers into an otherworldly landscape. The painting showcases an abstract depiction of a celestial sphere, a fiery orange and pink form that rises or sets along the horizon, casting its colors across an oceanic expanse below. Gentle waves in cool shades of blue and green ripple and dance across the canvas, reflecting hints of the warm hues above. A delicate net, with gold-like strands, stretches across part of the scene, seemingly suspended in the air, adding an element of mystery and texture. The net’s placement suggests themes of entrapment or entanglement, contrasting with the open, expansive landscape around it.
