Feast in the Garden 1971

Corneille created this vibrant painting, Feast in the Garden, using oil on canvas. Notice how Corneille uses bold lines and bright colors to create a lively scene. The shapes are simplified, almost childlike, giving the composition a playful feel. The arrangement of forms and colors is not accidental. Corneille, influenced by the COBRA art movement, sought to create art that was free from the constraints of traditional representation. The garden is not a literal depiction but a playground of signs, where a flower may also be a symbol of something else. The garden could be interpreted as a structuralist view of reality, composed of signs which give meaning through their relationship to each other. The painting remains open to interpretation, a vibrant and dynamic expression that invites us to participate in its feast of colors and forms.
