SOLD. Original Mixed Media Artwork by Max de Carrier, Montreal
Insanely Beautiful & Unsual Technique of Cutting & Removing Paint Once Applied. When looking closely, you can see hundreds of knife (or sharp object) marks across the wooden surface, which partially removed sections of the black paint, and reveals the wood underneath. Very Unusual artwork by Max de Carrier (born 1949). Painting is signed at lower right (black on black paint). No info on verso. Unknown date; possibly 1980’s, since this was acquired with several other artworks from the 1980-90’s (see links below). Measures 20 (width) x 25.5 (height) x 2 inches (depth). Painted suprisingly very heavy wood; unsually heavy so I presume this is a found counter top.
$895
Private Collection.

Gallery Elder is a gallery and boutique space in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada specializing in 17th – 19th century antique furniture, homewares and objects ranging from Europe and Asia, to North America – though the goal is to exist as a gallery space and boutique with aims of contemporizing the antique.
We believe that patina, and signs of use and wear on the antique items we present add to the character of the pieces themselves – and in turn, we hope that these items can provide a beautiful textural element to your space, unachievable with items born today.
