Jean Dubuffet.
He is far from conventional or traditional, this French painter and sculptor.
Forty-four of his works are on display at Sotheby’s, Jean Dubuffet – A Fine Line.
This selling exhibit runs through June 13 and gives a very colourful depiction of Dubuffet’s (1901-1985) works.
His paintings carry a lot of wide-eyed ghost-like reflections and is a theme throughout the display.
It is hard to say what the images, which are spread out across the paintings, are trying tell us. At times they are still, drifting or just there.
It’s an exhibit that will certainly make you stop and ponder.
