Art Deco Style Cubist Oil Painting "Le Bain" by Pascal Jarrion
Art Deco Style Cubist Oil Painting "Le Bain" by Pascal Jarrion
"Le Bain," meaning "The Bath," is an original oil on wood panel painting by French artist Pascal Jarrion, created in 2025. The composition presents a reclining figure at rest on an elegant chaise, set within a richly decorated interior complete with ornate carved furniture and a striped patterned floor.
Pascal's distinctive visual language draws on Cubism and Art Deco, building the figure and surrounding room from bold outlined shapes and confident flat planes of color. The scene balances an intimate, relaxed mood with strong decorative detail, from the scrolled headboard to a still life of grapes and a blue vase in the background.
Color and pattern work together throughout the composition. Soft sage greens and warm blush pink define the reclining figure and chaise, while deep burgundy and black anchor the ornately carved furniture behind. A small still life of a blue vase and dark grapes sits to the left, adding a further layer of decorative detail typical of interior scenes from the Art Deco period.
The confident black outlines that define every form give the painting a strong graphic quality, while the layered, overlapping shapes echo the flattened picture plane associated with early twentieth-century Modernism. The scrolled, sunburst motif on the headboard nods directly to the decorative vocabulary of the Art Deco era, reinforcing the painting's connection to that tradition even as its Cubist construction remains firmly contemporary.
Measuring 36 by 24 inches, "Le Bain" is a substantial and richly detailed painting well suited to a bedroom, sitting room, or any interior that can support strong pattern and color. The painting is presented double-matted in a green wood frame and is signed by Pascal Jarrion.
