This is a striking limited-edition carborundum etching titled “Riposte”
by French artist James Coignard (1925–2008). Created in 1991, the work exemplifies Coignard’s bold abstraction and mastery of textured surfaces. A rich palette of deep red set against layered gray grounds creates a tactile, relief-like depth that is distinctly his signature. The composition is enhanced by symbolic markings, conveying both energy and restraint. Signed and numbered 33/95, this piece stands as a prime example of postwar European printmaking. Beautifully presented in a contemporary white frame, it commands presence in both modern and eclectic interiors.
