Jeram PATEL (1930-2016) Composition n°3, 1959 Oil on canvas. Signed (incision) lower right, titled, dated, located "PARIS" and resigned on the back. 27 x 41cm The turn towards abstraction is evident in his works of the 1960s, as in our composition dated 1959. Here, the central shape, a nebula of white twigs intertwined in a jumble, gives rise to an anthropomorphic form or imaginary city, the result of a play of positive and negative spaces created by volume and the contrast between black and white. The artist was in his thirties when he produced this work, and had just discovered conceptual and abstract art in London and Paris, where ideas took precedence over reality. In this work, Patel offers us one of the first links in his long reflection on minimalist abstraction, continuing the mission of deconstruction of academic conventions begun by the avant-gardes.
