Description
A French contemporary abstract Cubist mixed media painting by R. Leroy, composed from layered passages of oil paint, applied material and collage-like textile elements. The composition is built around interlocking geometric forms in soft cream, grey, muted red, rust and pale pink, with smaller patterned fabric details adding texture and visual interest. The surface has a tactile, worked quality, with visible edges, painterly marks and softened lines.

Unframed and measuring 21.25 x 28.75 inches, the painting has a useful horizontal format for a sitting room, hallway, bedroom, study or creative workspace. Its restrained palette makes it easy to place, particularly with linen, pale wood, plaster walls, stone, natural textures or a more quietly contemporary scheme. The collage elements bring enough detail to reward close looking without making the piece feel busy.

There is a calm, considered quality to this work. It sits comfortably between abstraction, Cubist structure and textile-led surface design, giving it a distinctive French studio character. With provenance from Leroy’s studio in western France, it would suit an interior that values texture, subtle colour and pieces that feel collected rather than overly decorative.
