About the artwork

French fish market in abstract expressionist style.

A French fish market, or "marché aux poissons" in French, is a lively and colourful place that reflects France's rich maritime traditions and culinary diversity. The market offers an abundance of fresh fish and seafood, supplied directly by local fishermen. You will find an array of fish ranging from sea bass, tuna, salmon and halibut to shellfish such as lobster, crab, mussels and oysters. The fish are often displayed on ice beds or stalls, carefully arranged to highlight their freshness and quality. The vibrant colours of the different types of fish and seafood attract the attention of passers-by.

Abstract expressionism is an influential artistic movement that developed in the United States after World War II, mainly in the 1940s and 1950s. It is a style of abstract art that emphasises the artist's expression of emotion and inner experiences, often without an immediately recognisable subject. Abstract expressionist artists often used powerful, spontaneous brushstrokes and gestures. These expressive techniques were used to capture emotion, energy and movement on canvas. Colour plays a central role in abstract expressionism. Artists often chose vibrant and expressive colours to express emotions and create a powerful visual impact.
