James Coignard's Deux Noirs en Stratification explores the power of monochromatic Abstract Expressionist composition through the artist's signature carborundum etching technique and layered structural approach. This striking work demonstrates Coignard's mastery of tonal relationships and his ability to create visual depth through stratified layers of black pigment and texture. The piece showcases the French artist's innovative printmaking methods, where traditional etching is enhanced with carborundum to achieve rich, painterly surfaces that challenge the boundaries between print and painting. Deux Noirs en Stratification exemplifies Coignard's contribution to contemporary printmaking and his position as a leading figure in French Abstract Expressionism.
