The Invocation by Paul Gauguin
The Invocation belongs to Gauguin's late Tahitian period — a gathering of figures in ritual posture, set against the dense flat colour planes he developed far from Paris. The composition holds spiritual weight without literalism: crouching figures, a standing form, colour used not to describe but to feel. The palette is warm amber, deep green, and ochre, applied with the deliberate flatness that made Gauguin's Polynesian work so decisive for the painters who followed him.
These dense, saturated Tahitian colours reach their full depth on canvas. The woven texture adds warmth to Gauguin's already warm palette, and the surface lends the figures a physical presence that suits the painting's ritual gravity. Produced in our Berlin studio with archival inks, this canvas print honours every layer of Gauguin's original colour work.
