Lot Essay
« Fluidité de la matière effaçant toute trace toute trace de subjectivité, toute notion de profondeur et de clair-obscur, permet à l’artiste de se concentrer sur les propriétés formelles de la toile – sa planéité et son format – tout en laissant la primauté à la couleur. En ce sens, il privilégie les formes simples et centrées : les cercles concentriques d’abord, puis les chevrons, et enfin les bandes simples. Toutes ces formes font l’objet de séries, chacune étant la résultante de la précédente. »
“The fluidity of the material blotting out any trace of subjectivity, any notion of depth, light and shade, allowed the artist to concentrate on the formal properties of the canvas – its flatness and its format – enabling colour to take pride of place. In that respect, he favoured simple, centred shapes: firstly, concentric circles, then chevrons and finally simple bands of colour. All those shapes were created in series, each one resulting from its predecessor”.
