Le Yack - Le Palais d'Ondine - Hand-signed

A thoroughly submerged bourgeois living room. The parquet, the dresser, the gilded fainting couch, the frames on the wall, the small-paned window, the curtains — everything is in place, and everything is underwater. In the center, a young woman in a red dress stands barefoot, holding her skirt spread out at arm's length. From the ceiling, two schools of fish cross: red on the left, gold on the right. This is not a drowning, it is an invitation. At Aloysius Bertrand's, Ondine invites the sleeper to come rule over her palace at the bottom of the lake; here the palace is a nineteenth-century interior, and the dance has already begun. The red of the dress, the sole warm mass of the canvas, stands up to all the blue — this is the tension point that prevents the scene from tipping into a soft dream. The water is built from overlapping blue veils, enhanced by dry whites for bubbles and beams of light; the dress is the tour de force, assembled in thick pleats where the red shifts from carmine to garnet in the hollows; the furniture, darker and smoother, serves as ballast for the composition and holds down the bottom of the painting.
