This unique 2015 work by Pierre Soulages exemplifies his celebrated Outrenoir philosophy, in which black paint is applied with bold impasto gestures to transform the canvas into a field of shifting light and shadow. The surface is articulated with rhythmic, grid-like marks of varying density, dense and clustered in the upper left and more dispersed across the lower field, creating a dynamic dialogue between texture and reflection. Soulages, the legendary French abstractionist, used acrylic here to achieve a range of luminous tonal variation within an entirely monochromatic palette. Offered through Opera Gallery, this painting is a signature statement from one of the most celebrated Post-War European masters.
