Art Deco Style Cubist Oil Painting "Vase and Torchon" by Pascal Jarrion
Art Deco Style Cubist Oil Painting "Vase and Torchon" by Pascal Jarrion
"Vase and Torchon" is an original oil on wood panel painting by French artist Pascal Jarrion, created in 2025. The composition is a quiet Cubist still life centered on a dark vase draped with a white cloth, set upon a table alongside a small cluster of fruit and the scrolled outline of a violin.
Pascal's distinctive visual language draws on the still life tradition of early Cubism, breaking the vase, cloth, and surrounding objects into overlapping planes while preserving a strong sense of everyday domestic calm. Warm browns and blacks anchor the composition, set against cool striped greens in the background.
The vase forms the clear focal point of the painting, its curved handle and dark silhouette wrapped in the soft folds of a white cloth rendered in confident, sketch-like line work. A small cluster of deep purple grapes or figs sits nearby, adding a note of color and organic form against the otherwise geometric arrangement.
The striped green backdrop, suggesting wallpaper or a drawn curtain, provides a steady rhythmic contrast to the more varied shapes of the still life itself. A faint violin scroll outlined at lower left echoes the musical instrument motifs found throughout Pascal's broader body of work, tying this quieter, more intimate composition to his larger artistic vocabulary.
Measuring 24 by 20 inches, "Vase and Torchon" is a refined and well-balanced painting suited to a dining room, kitchen, or any interior calling for a quieter Cubist still life, and is presented matted in a dark green wood frame. The painting is signed by Pascal Jarrion.
