Jean-Paul Riopelle died in 2002 after a successful career as a modernist painter and sculpture. This is one of seven stamps of details of his Hommage de Rosa Luxembourg painted in 1992. It is a huge fresco (40 metres) made entirely by aerosol spray paint incorporating a succession of images of animals and nature.

this is such a beautiful stamp! That one on the right reminds me of a unicorn, or some kind of mythological creature.
Wow, this must be a wonderful artwork. It looks beautiful on the stamp, too.
40 metres into one tiny stamp, wow. Intrigued I found a blog of someone who had visited the art gallery and taken lots of pictures and it does look massive, the stamp does capture its essence. Looks a lovely gallery in Quebec.
I am learning a lot about art through stamps like these starting with another artist new to me.
