Description

Abstraction is expressed here through a rigorous play of lines and masses. The composition is structured around a fragile balance between geometry and spontaneity.
The eye travels through contrasting areas. A dark and dense block asserts itself in the center. It opposes the lightness of the vertical hatching that structures the background.
The work of the materials brings a tactile depth. India ink defines sharp contours. Chalk softens the chromatic transitions.
Ochre and earthy tones anchor the composition in a certain sobriety. These warm colors dialogue with a luminous white and mineral grays.
The whole evokes an imaginary architecture. The line is precise, almost technical, recalling a study of space and perspective.
This drawing on paper, made in 197, explores the tension between the full and the empty.

The surface is rhythmized by vertical bands and saturated flat areas.
