C. Carlier Signed Mid-Century Modern Abstract Painting

This item is a large-format abstract expressionist painting on canvas, signed by the artist C. Carlier in the lower right corner. The composition features a bold, mid-century modern aesthetic characterized by organic and geometric shapes. Dominant colors include vibrant red masses resembling floral forms or trees, a central solid black orb, and various swatches of turquoise, ochre, grey, and white. The application of paint appears both thick and gestural, with visible brushstrokes and impasto techniques that provide a textured surface. The piece is housed in a simple, linear black wooden frame that suggests a late 20th-century origin. The artwork exhibits several angular black lines that create a sense of movement across the horizontal plane. While the central focus is non-representational, the arrangement suggests a stylized landscape or celestial scene. The condition appears to be generally good, though there is a small white tag or sticker on the lower left of the frame edge, possibly an auction or inventory marker. The craftsmanship reflects a confident use of color theory and balanced negative space typical of 1960s or 1970s interior-focused fine art.
