James Coignard Carborundum Print, Signed and Numbered 32/50, French Abstract Art

A strong and assured carborundum print by James Coignard, issued in a numbered edition of 32/50, exemplifying the artist’s mastery of texture, surface, and graphic abstraction.

Executed using the carborundum process, one of Coignard’s most sought-after techniques, the work displays rich, granular relief and layered density not achievable through standard printmaking. Subtle tonal fields are punctuated by warmer passages, creating depth, movement, and a distinctly hand-worked presence.

Presented in a black frame with generous matting, the composition reads architectural and composed rather than decorative. Its restrained palette and physical surface quietly anchor a space, pairing especially well with modern and Scandinavian furnishings.

A mature, collectible example of Coignard’s work, balancing expressiveness with control.
