L'echappement 1970

Jules Perahim's 1970 artwork "L'echappement" depicts a motorcycle, with the rider seemingly in motion, rendered in a stylized, almost abstract form against a blue and white background. The figure of a man on the right of the composition is a recurring motif in Perahim's work, and this seemingly fragmented style echoes the artist's experimentation with Surrealism and the influence of the French "Art Informel" movement. This artwork exemplifies Perahim's interest in capturing the fluidity of movement and exploring the relationship between the figure and the abstract.
