Fresco
This vibrant and colorful fresco is a contemporary interpretation of Matisse's
"La Plage Rouge," created by Catalan artist Franck Gabarrou. In homage to
Fauvism, the room is filled with vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes that
overlap with abandon, inviting occupants to dive into a world where color reigns
supreme. The sky is a watercolor mosaic where pink and red clouds blend into
soothing blues, evoking a summer late afternoon. Below, a series of horizontal
bands suggest the horizon, with brilliant yellows for the setting sun spreading
over a dark blue seascape. A touch of lush green recalls the foliage of a
distant seaside. In the foreground, the beach is suggested by touches of purple
and red, with abstract shapes that seem to float, free and untamed, like boat
sails or distant silhouettes, reflecting harmony and freedom. Splashes of color,
like confetti, sprinkle the space, adding extra texture and depth that captivate
the eye and free the imagination. Gabarrou's work stands out for its boldness
and personal interpretation of Matisse's themes, making this fresco not just a
decoration but an immersive experience for all who have the pleasure of staying
in our Fauvism room.
