Contemporary Expressionist Parrot Painting by Griffe

This item is a large-format contemporary horizontal painting depicting a macaw or parrot in a dynamic, expressionistic style. The artwork features a vibrant palette of red, blue, yellow, and white, set against a textured lavender and purple background. The bird is rendered with high-energy, gestural strokes and paint splatters that create a sense of motion directed toward the left. The substrate appears to be a heavy, deckle-edged handmade paper or a textured fibrous material, which is float-mounted over a neutral off-white mat. In the lower right corner, the artist's signature 'Griffe' is clearly visible in dark paint. The piece is housed in a substantial wooden frame with a decorative 'bamboo-style' carved motif and a dark walnut or mahogany finish. The overall composition suggests a late 20th-century to early 21st-century modern period. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, tearing, or fading, and the framing maintains a high level of craftsmanship with a secure mounting. The combination of the textured paper and 'action painting' techniques indicates a skilled hand focused on movement and color theory.
