Jomad French, b. 1987 – Works from €350 – €9,000
(55 1/10 × 47 1/5 in)
In Madras (2026), JOMAD portrays a seated woman looking back towards the viewer, surrounded by oversized flowers and flowing bands of colour. Her steady gaze anchors a composition alive with pink, turquoise, yellow and green. The carefully modelled face and body contrast with the flatter, expressive shapes of the surrounding floral forms.
Colours and stripes recur across the woman’s clothing and her surroundings, creating connections between figure and setting. Flowers fill the surface, while shifting patterns leave the distinction between foreground and background open. Within this exuberant composition, the woman’s relaxed posture introduces a sense of stillness. Her presence gives the painting an intimate focus, drawing the viewer into a quiet exchange amid the movement of colour.
For collectors, Madras combines the immediate impact of vibrant colour with the intimacy of a portrait, offering a work whose interwoven patterns and quiet human presence reward repeated viewing.
