JEAN BOGHOSSIAN (Born in 1949) VOLCANO #22, 2024 Burnt mixed media and acrylic on canvas. Signed and dated on the reverse 120 x 100 cm Burned mixed media and acrylic on canvas Signed and dated on the reverse 47 1/4 x 39 3/8 in. Provenance Private collection In his Volcanos series, Jean Boghossian uses the volcano as a metaphor for creative energy. Through the use of fire, material and colour, he evokes a world in perpetual formation, shaped by internal forces. Drips, splashes and effects of combustion combine to create a painting in eruption, where the successive layers of the surface recall those of the Earth’s crust. Each work thus reflects the constant dialogue between destruction, transformation and creation.
