Montagnes fantômes de Chaban

This original square painting, executed on a square canvas roughly equivalent to A2 width (approx. 42x42 cm), is part of the 'Paysages fantômes' (Ghost Landscapes) series. The composition depicts a dramatic, stylized mountain range rendered in a limited monochromatic palette of deep indigos, cerulean blues, and stark titanium white. The technique suggests the heavy use of a palette knife, creating thick impasto textures that mimic the rugged surfaces of icy peaks and snow-covered ridges. Visible vertical streaks in the upper portion suggest falling snow, mist, or atmospheric distortion, contributing to the 'ghostly' theme. A small, circular celestial body—likely a moon—is visible in the upper right quadrant, providing a focal point against the dark sky. The artwork is dated July 22, 2025, indicating it is a contemporary piece from the 21st century. The canvas appears to be gallery-wrapped with painted edges. The condition is excellent with no visible signs of craquelure, fading, or mechanical damage. The high-contrast application of white over Dark blue creates a sense of depth and luminous energy, reflecting modern expressionist influences.
