View in a Room

// Homage to Federico Garcia Lorca by Robert Combas is a striking silkscreen print crafted in 2001. The artwork presents a surreal and abstracted figure set against a grid-like background, with exaggerated, mask-like facial features that blend human and mystical qualities, possibly evoking Lorca’s own complex, poetic spirit. The prominent swirling patterns at the bottom add dynamism and intrigue, while bold black lines and muted colors dominate the piece, emphasizing a sense of mystery and intensity. The title, inscribed above as Loups garous! (Werewolves), hints at themes of transformation, perhaps an homage to Lorca’s exploration of identity, the supernatural, and the surreal.

Robert Combas (France, 1957) is a contemporary artist and a leading figure in the Figuration Libre movement. His vibrant works blend elements of popular culture, comics, and music, characterized by dynamic compositions and expressive figures. Combas's art challenges traditional boundaries, reflecting a rebellious spirit and a celebration of everyday life.

I had always wanted to do something entirely new, I had always felt the need to be different from others, I truly consider myself to be a dandy.

- Robert Combas

Robert Combas (b. 1957 France) is a French artist and a leading figure in the Figuration Libre movement, which emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a reaction against the austerity of conceptual and minimalist art. Combas’s work is characterized by its vibrant, chaotic energy, bold colors, and a blend of high and low culture, often drawing on comic strips, graffiti, rock music, and everyday life. His paintings are densely populated with figures, patterns, and text, creating a dynamic, almost frenetic visual experience. Combas's style is playful yet deeply expressive, addressing themes such as violence, sexuality, and the human condition with both humor and intensity. As a pioneer of contemporary French art, Combas has significantly influenced the development of figurative painting in Europe. (Artist website)
