Her art centres on the concept of invisible presence, breath, and transitional spaces. This watercolour showcases her masterful command of the lyrical abstraction movement that swept through the Franco-German border region in the late 20th century. Her signature motif—a floating, dark organic capsule suspended within an ethereal wash of luminous primary tones—serves as a poignant visual anchor representing a spiritual presence caught mid-flight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSPECIFICATIONS OF THE WORK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    •    Title:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Untitled (Abstract Cosmic Composition)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    •    Year of Creation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e August 14, 1989 (\u003ci\u003eSigned and dated \"14 Août 1989\"\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    •    Technique:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Wet-on-wet lyrical abstraction with layered translucent washes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    •    Provenance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Acquired directly from Strasbourg, France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    •    Artwork Dimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 30.5 cm × 23.0 cm 842g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    •    Framed Presentation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 40.5 cm × 34.5 cm (\u003ci\u003eHoused in a classic gilded gallery frame with a custom conservation mat board\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Insolita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68076606128450,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9271\/8658\/files\/15507645432130.png?v=1794172005","url":"https:\/\/bazaa.com.au\/products\/sylvie-lander-watercolour-b-1962-strasbourg-france","provider":"Bazaa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
