In this fascinating trompe-lœil, Jean Grimal deploys all his technical virtuosity in the service of illusion. A red cardinal, a black flute, yellowed sheet music and fragile letters appear to be attached to an antique panel. Precise textures, cast shadows and crumpled paper effects deceive the eye with remarkable finesse.
Beyond the technical prowess, the work poetically evokes the passing of time, memory and the beauty of simple things. The bright red of the bird draws the eye and structures a composition of perfect balance, bathed in a soft, meditative light.
A renowned advertising illustrator, Grimal then turned to trompe-lœil painting with total devotion. His paintings, rare and highly sought-after, appeal to lovers of figurative art and visual meticulousness. This oil on canvas, signed lower right, measures 50 × 61 cm (framed: 56 × 67 cm) and is a superb example of contemporary illusionist art.
