Leyris, Jean, Sous-bois , 2017

“Sous-bois” is another of Jean Leyris’s explorations of natural landscapes, using charcoal to depict the depth and complexity of an undergrowth. The artist, influenced by his years spent in Provence, captures forests and wooded spaces with remarkable mastery. The play of light and shadow, typical of his work, adds a mystical dimension to this work, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the density and calm of the undergrowth.
