Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonlity is lighter in the original. The guitarist's hair are brown in the original rather than black in the catalogue illustration. Blue colours are deeper and richer in the original. Colours are vivid.
Condition: The work is in excellent condition. Some slight traces of abrasion are visible at the four corners. A paint loss is visible on the lower left edge (approximately 3mm). A few slight lines fluoresce in the white parts of the composition (drums), which appears to be inherent to the artist's working process.

Catalogue Note
signed and dated; signed and dated on the back; acrylic on canvas. Painted in 1995.
Ma peinture c'est du rock, la recherche du Feeling. Le Feeling c'est le rythme, c'est le batteur fou dans la jungle et les danses vaudou, c'est les Rolling Stones copiant les vieux morceaux des noirs, des blues-men et sans le vouloir créant une musique nouvelle. Moi, c'est un peu comme ça pour la peinture, avoir le rythme (feeling) des écritures et des peintures publicitaires chinoises, arabes, méditerranéennes. (Robert Combas, 1982).
