Description
A signed French contemporary abstract Cubist oil painting by R. Leroy, worked in a strong palette of red, grey, black, cream and white, with small flashes of blue, pink and yellow. The composition is built from broad interlocking blocks and softened geometric forms, creating a dense, rhythmic structure across the canvas. The surface is tactile and painterly, with visible texture and areas of broken paint giving the work depth and movement.

Framed and measuring 19 x 22.25 inches overall, this is a compact but impactful abstract painting. It would sit well in a hallway, study, bedroom, sitting room or dining space, particularly where a stronger note of colour is wanted without needing a very large work. The red and grey palette would pair well with neutral walls, dark wood, leather, linen, chrome or more contemporary interiors with clean lines.

There is a confident, graphic quality to this piece. It feels bold, but not chaotic, with the cream central passage holding the composition together. With studio provenance from western France, it is a strong example of Leroy’s abstract Cubist language and would suit an interior that mixes modern European painting with characterful, collected pieces.
