Mixed Media Montage. 'Salut aux Eskimos'. 'Hello to the Eskimos.'
By Armand Avril
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mixed media montage titled 'Salut aux Eskimos' ( Hello to the Eskimos ) by French artist Armand Avril, signed, dated 2009 and titled to the reverse.
This mixed media montage fully demonstrates Avril's inspiration drawn from Inuit art whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the techniques and materials used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, plywood, acrylic paint and nails. The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out to around 1.5cm from the frame. The piece includes the artists favourite motifs of the French flag, fish and skulls. Avril's work will always make you smile as the images he produces are joyous and light and explode with great energy.
Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril, was a painter and collector of African art.
At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence. Avril could always be seen equipped with a sketchbook and a book on the history of art whilst tending his flock.
It was not until the age of 30, in 1956, that Armand embarked on painting as an autodidact, influenced by Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and the Lyonnaise School of Painting. He exhibited for the first time in 1957.
In 1960, he left for a one-year trip to Africa. There he met the painter Jean Arène who introduced him to the village of Cotignac in the Var and to Louis Pons...

'Danse Squelettes'. Abstract Expressionist Montage and Acrylic on Flour Sack.
By Armand Avril
Located in Cotignac, FR
Abstract Expressionist mixed media montage titled 'Danse Squelettes' by French artist Armand Avril, signed and dated 2002 bottom centre and signed, dated and titled with explanation of the inspiration of this piece to the reverse.
Avril's inspiration here is drawn from an exhibition in the Grand Palais de Paris called, 'la mort n'en saura rien' in 1999/2000 in which works come together from across four continents to explore man's differing perspectives on death in different cultures.
As always this mixed-media is created with the humour and joy and abandon that the artist puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image. This montage is made on a flour sack with applied cardboard and acrylic paint. The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out to around 1.5cm from the frame. The piece includes the artist's favourite motifs of cats and skulls. Avril's work will always make you smile and has great energy.
