Asger Jorn's 'Paris by Night (Defiguration)' is an abstract expressionist painting with dark colours and distorted figures, reflecting the artist's social critique and experimental approach.
Asger Jorn, a Danish artist (1914-1973), was a founding member of the Situationist International movement. This group of avant-garde artists and intellectuals sought to challenge the capitalist status quo through art and social critique. Jorn's work often combined abstract expressionist techniques with elements of figuration and social commentary. He is known for his experimental approach to painting, incorporating chance and spontaneity into his process. 'Paris by Night (Defiguration)' exemplifies Jorn's style. The painting presents a dark, almost chaotic scene, with figures and forms emerging from the gloom. A silhouetted figure stands on a balcony overlooking a cityscape, while other figures appear distorted and fragmented. The colour palette is dominated by dark blues and blacks, with touches of white and red adding contrast. The overall effect is one of unease and disorientation, reflecting the artist's critique of modern society.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
