Product description
Evocative and visionary, this 1973 work by Daniel Bec depicts a reclining male figure, wrapped in striped sheets, suspended between stillness and a mysterious unease.
His face is relaxed, eyes half-closed, hair loose: the man appears to be caught in a liminal moment, perhaps between sleep and death. One arm stretches out toward the viewer, holding a fruit in his hand — a symbolically charged element that enhances the scene’s ambiguity.
Against a dark background, enveloping shapes and saturated tones (red, purple, black) create a deep and silent atmosphere. Bec’s painterly approach — made of flat color fields, overlapping transparencies, and tonal harmonies — gives the composition a timeless, almost cinematic quality.
A piece that invites contemplation, evoking universal themes such as fragility, abandonment, and the boundary between presence and absence.
Very good overall condition, with a dent on the top edge of the metal frame.
