Lot Essay

'Between simplification and the outpourings that are the two paths of abstract painting, Abboud offers another approach to reality that is fusion. It might be said in a rather drastic way that he does not perceive reality, but that he dives into it, wallows in it, merges with it to such an extent that when he brings it back to us filtered through his desire, it has simultaneously been dissolved and reconstituted according to harmonic laws inside which, to quote the poet, "Perfumes, colours and sounds answer each other".'

(P. Waldberg, in C. Lemand (ed.), Shafic Abboud, Paris 2006, pp. 349-350).
