Contemporary abstract mixed media on paper by Belgian artist Francis Besson, signed bottom right.

Francis was born in Dundee (Scotland) in 1943 however as a young child moved to Belgium where he later became famous as an actor. His family kept a second home in Cotignac in Provence which he visited often until finally going to live there himself in the early 2000's.

Francis Besson now lives and works in the beautiful village of Cotignac in Provence in the south of France. His often impressionistic almost pointillist work is inspired by the nature he sees around him in this lovely part of the world. The intensity of the light , the rocks and forests of Provence all feature in his paintings.

He is known for both landscapes and abstract works and has often collaborated with other local artists. This abstract piece with its strong line, textured surface through the application of sand, plywood and paper and its bold colours has great impact.
