About the Item
Maison Lecan presents this abstract canvas entitled “Totemic Body in Torsion.”
On a radiant golden ground, reddish-brown wood-grain blocks interlock and twist in an S-shaped dynamic, suggesting a stylized anthropomorphic figure — head, torso, bent limb — at the intersection of human form and architectural abstraction
Framed in a handcrafted oak frame, the work resonates with the aesthetics of 1970s–80s geometric abstraction and constructivism, echoing both sculptural and postmodernist currents.
Best displayed at eye level with raking light, it reveals the shimmering gold and layered textures in full depth.
