Description Beautiful Cobra watercolor by Marcus de Vestele, dated 1978. A dense composition, within a frame that is only lightly sketched. The forms intertwine: silhouettes, signs, brown masses and touches of red. The line is nervous, spontaneous, almost calligraphic. The treatment is typically Cobra: spontaneity of gesture, economy of means, constant tension between figurative essentials and abstraction. The scene has a theatrical presence, at once fragile and monumental. A sober, expressive work that is characteristic of Cobra on paper by Marcus de Vestele at the end of the 1970s, directly from the artist’s studio. Biography Marcus de Vestele (1941-2024) is a major Belgian artist, primarily recognized as a marble sculptor (notably in Carrara and with Bardiglio marble). Alongside his sculptural practice, he developed throughout his life a significant pictorial production, long kept confidential and today sought after by collectors. Strongly influenced by the Cobra movement (Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, Corneille, Constant…), Marcus de Vestele drew inspiration from it to create abstract-figurative compositions of great expressive power. His works on paper from the 1970s are characterized by spontaneous line, free gesture, and a constant tension between figuration and abstraction. His drawings, washes and gouaches combine the discipline of the sculptor with the lyrical, gestural explosion typical of Cobra. Directly from the studio, this on-paper production constitutes an essential and singular facet of his work, occupying a distinct place in Belgian art of the second half of the 20th century.
