Untitled 1970

Here we have an Untitled oil on canvas by Jean Miotte, in which abstract forms collide. The eye is immediately drawn to the dynamic interplay of colors: a bold red clashes with deep blues and blacks, punctuated by stark white, creating a sense of tension and release. Miotte’s brushstrokes are gestural and free, building layers that suggest depth, yet defy any coherent, representational space. This approach destabilizes traditional notions of form and perspective. The composition invites us to consider how these elements function semiotically. The vivid colors might represent raw emotion, while the chaotic arrangement challenges fixed meanings. Miotte’s deconstruction of form pushes the boundaries of artistic expression and perception. Ultimately, it is the formal arrangement of color and form that captivates. Miotte uses this painting to prompt us to question established modes of seeing and understanding, engaging with new perspectives on abstraction and representation.
