About the Item
Set of three powerful mixed-media works by Max Roumieu exemplify late 20th-century Materic Art—a form of abstract expressionism defined by the physicality of paint and texture.
Roumieu, active during the 1980s, produced a limited body of highly tactile paintings and sculptural canvases that blur the line between painting and relief sculpture. The pieces, feature a deeply textured surface built through heavy impasto—likely resin or sand-infused paste—applied with a palette knife to create dramatic peaks and valleys.
Set against a smooth, color-field background of rich earth tones and illuminated by a striking beam of light, the compositions evoke both geological depth and emotional intensity. The abstract forms seem to emerge or struggle from the surface, creating a powerful tension between material and meaning.
Roumieu’s works are known for their theatrical presence and sculptural dimension, embodying the late 20th-century fascination with matter, light, and existential abstraction.
